Bahrain Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Bahrain's energy use per capita was 11,731 in 2025, ranked 3rd globally. This represents a 9.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Bahrain's energy use per capita stood at 11,731 in 2025, a rise of +1,030 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 11,731 by 2025. Bahrain ranked 3rd globally.
Bahrain's energy use per capita has demonstrated a marked fluctuation over the past three decades, with the all-time peak of 12,833.27 in 2000, and a trough of 9,444.42 in 2017. The country's energy use has since rebounded, reaching a value of 11,731.43 in 2025. This trajectory is comparable to that of Brunei Darussalam, another small oil-rich nation, which has also experienced periods of high energy use. Bahrain's energy use per capita is significantly lower than that of Qatar, the global leader in this indicator, which boasts a value of 17,324.73. The upward trend in Bahrain's energy use since 2017 suggests that the country's energy consumption patterns are adapting to changing global and domestic conditions. However, a decline in oil prices or a shift towards renewable energy sources could alter this trajectory and influence Bahrain's energy use per capita in the years to come.
