Bosnia and Herzegovina Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Bosnia and Herzegovina's energy use per capita was 2,262 in 2025, ranked 49th globally. This represents a 4.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina's energy use per capita stood at 2,262 in 2025, a rise of +91 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2,262 by 2025. Bosnia and Herzegovina ranked 49th globally.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s energy use per capita has risen steadily from 1,577.48 in 1990 to 2,261.76 in 2025, placing the country 49th globally and just below peers such as Italy (2,292.56) and Croatia (2,247.82). The post‑war trough of 385.21 in 1994 reflected severe infrastructure damage and supply disruptions, but the subsequent recovery accelerated in the early 2000s as the electricity grid was rebuilt and industrial output expanded. The all‑time peak of 2,270.73 in 2022 indicates that the recent upward trajectory has largely plateaued, with the 2025 figure only 8.97 units lower than the peak. Over the 35‑year coverage period, per‑capita consumption has increased by roughly 43 %, driven by higher household demand, greater motorisation and modest growth in the manufacturing sector. Continued alignment with EU energy efficiency directives and a shift toward renewable sources could moderate future growth, potentially flattening or reversing the modest upward trend.
