Bolivia, Plurinational State of Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Bolivia, Plurinational State of's energy use per capita was 739 in 2025, ranked 106th globally. This represents a 7.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Bolivia, Plurinational State of's energy use per capita stood at 739 in 2025, a decline of +59 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 739 by 2025. Bolivia, Plurinational State of ranked 106th globally.
Bolivia’s energy use per capita has more than doubled since the earliest observation in 1990, when it stood at 360.66 kilowatt‑hours, reaching a record high of 803.13 kilowatt‑hours in 2018 before slipping to 738.84 kilowatt‑hours in 2025, a level that ranks the country 106th worldwide. The long‑term rise reflects expanding electrification, industrial activity and urbanisation, while the modest post‑peak decline may be linked to greater efficiency measures and a shift toward renewable sources. Compared with peers of similar ranking, Bolivia’s 2025 figure sits just below Cuba’s 756.22 kilowatt‑hours and above the Republic of Congo’s 665.75 kilowatt‑hours, indicating a moderate but still advancing energy intensity relative to regional counterparts. If the current emphasis on clean‑energy investment and demand‑side management persists, the upward trajectory is likely to moderate further, potentially stabilising consumption at a level comparable to its recent peak.
