Barbados Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Barbados's energy use per capita was 1,478 in 2007, ranked 101st globally. This represents a 0.3% increase from 2006. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2007.
Overview
Barbados's energy use per capita stood at 1,478 in 2007, a rise of +4 from 2006. Barbados ranked 101st globally.
Barbados' energy use per capita has shown a significant trend over the past two decades, with the country's consumption reaching an all-time high of 1,478.13 kilogram oil equivalent (kgoe) per capita in 2007, placing it at rank 101 globally. This peak was a result of the country's growing economic activity and increased reliance on fossil fuels, particularly during the 2000s when tourism and financial services drove economic growth. In contrast, the all-time low of 1,245.21 kgoe per capita occurred in 1990, marking the beginning of a period of economic diversification and energy efficiency efforts. Barbados' energy use per capita has been closely aligned with that of peer countries such as Jamaica, which also reached an all-time high of 1,479.16 kgoe per capita in 2007. However, a shift towards renewable energy sources and increased energy efficiency measures could alter the trajectory of Barbados' energy use per capita in the coming years.
