Côte d'Ivoire Energy Use per Capita

Côte d'Ivoire's energy use per capita has shown a moderate increase over the past three decades, with a notable uptick in the 2020s. The country's per capita energy consumption peaked in 2025 at 573.01 kilogram oil equivalent, a value that places it at 113 globally. This growth is comparable to that of Nicaragua, which has the highest energy use per capita among peer countries, at 589.30 kilogram oil equivalent. Conversely, Côte d'Ivoire's energy use per capita was at its lowest in 2003, when it stood at 345.06 kilogram oil equivalent. The country's energy use per capita has thus experienced a 65.2% increase from 1990 to 2025. This trend may continue if Côte d'Ivoire's economy continues to grow, driven by increasing energy demands from its industrial and transportation sectors. However, a shift towards renewable energy sources could potentially alter the trajectory of Côte d'Ivoire's energy use per capita and mitigate the environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel consumption.
