Belize Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Belize's energy use per capita was 601 in 2007, ranked 58th globally. This represents a 0.6% increase from 2006. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2007.
Overview
Belize's energy use per capita stood at 601 in 2007, a rise of +4 from 2006. Belize ranked 58th globally.
Belize’s energy use per capita rose modestly from 580.19 kilowatt‑hours in 1990 to a peak of 601.15 kilowatt‑hours in 2007, placing the country 58th globally in that year. The trough of 570.51 kilowatt‑hours occurred in 2004, after which consumption resumed an upward trajectory that persisted through the five‑year coverage window. Compared with regional peers, Belize’s 2007 figure is slightly below the Marshall Islands’ 614.97 kilowatt‑hours and above Honduras’ 589.59 kilowatt‑hours, reflecting a middle‑of‑the‑road energy intensity among small developing economies. The gradual increase aligns with modest economic growth and expanding electrification, yet remains well under the all‑time high of 624.57 kilowatt‑hours recorded by Dominica. Continued investment in renewable sources and efficiency measures could temper future rises, while sustained demand from industrialisation would likely keep the upward trend intact.
