Argentina's energy use per capita has experienced fluctuations over the past three and a half decades. The country's energy consumption peaked in 2013 at 1,928.55 kilogram of oil equivalent, although this value has since declined to 1,874.39 kilogram of oil equivalent as of 2025. In comparison, Türkiye's energy use per capita in 2025 stands at 1,916.48 kilogram of oil equivalent, indicating a relatively stable trajectory for the peer country. The all-time trough was reached in 1990, with an energy use per capita of 1,351.48 kilogram of oil equivalent, marking a significant increase over the past 35 years. This increase has been driven by Argentina's growing economy and energy demands. However, a shift towards renewable energy sources and more efficient energy consumption may alter the trajectory of Argentina's energy use per capita in the coming years.
