Austria Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Austria's energy use per capita was 3,177 in 2025, ranked 27th globally. This represents a 4.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Austria's energy use per capita stood at 3,177 in 2025, a decline of +131 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3,177 by 2025. Austria ranked 27th globally.
Austria’s energy use per capita has declined steadily over the 35‑year series, falling from a 1990 level of 3,240.45 kilowatt‑hours to a 2025 figure of 3,177.49, the lowest point recorded and ranking it 27th globally. The country’s consumption peaked in 2006 at 4,105.08, after which efficiency gains, a shift toward renewable sources and modest demand‑side management reduced per‑capita use. Compared with peers, Austria’s 2025 level is slightly below the Netherlands (3,099.05) and the Slovak Republic (3,085.85) but lower than New Zealand’s 3,425.84 and Czechia’s 3,503.75, indicating a middle‑of‑the‑pack position among advanced economies. The downward trajectory suggests that continued investment in energy‑saving technologies and further integration of low‑carbon electricity could keep Austria’s per‑capita consumption on a modest decline, potentially moving it closer to the most efficient peers in the coming decade.
