Antigua and Barbuda Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Antigua and Barbuda's energy use per capita was 1,787 in 2007, ranked 109th globally. This represents a 0.7% increase from 2006. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2007.
Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's energy use per capita stood at 1,787 in 2007, a rise of +13 from 2006. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 109th globally.
Antigua and Barbuda’s energy use per capita rose from 1,567.05 kilowatt‑hours in 1990 to a peak of 1,786.94 kilowatt‑hours in 2007, placing the nation at rank 109 globally in that year. This upward trajectory, measured over a five‑year coverage window, reflects a modest but steady increase in domestic energy consumption relative to its small population. The 2007 figure is marginally higher than the 1,777.07 kilowatt‑hours recorded for fellow Caribbean state St. Kitts and Nevis, yet lower than Montenegro’s 1,828.43 kilowatt‑hours and Chile’s 1,836.96 kilowatt‑hours, illustrating that Antigua and Barbuda remains close to regional peers while lagging behind some higher‑income comparators. The rise coincides with broader Caribbean trends of expanding tourism and related infrastructure, which typically drive higher per‑capita energy demand. Continued investment in renewable sources and energy‑efficiency measures could temper future growth, potentially flattening the upward trend observed since the early 1990s.
