Cabo Verde Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Cabo Verde's energy use per capita was 208 in 2007, ranked 13th globally. This represents a 0.1% decrease from 2006. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2007.
Overview
Cabo Verde's energy use per capita stood at 208 in 2007, a decline of +0 from 2006. Cabo Verde ranked 13th globally.
Cabo Verde’s energy use per capita rose sharply from 77.37 kilowatt‑hours in 1990, the all‑time trough, to a peak of 207.85 kilowatt‑hours in 2006, before settling at 207.58 kilowatt‑hours in the latest 2007 observation, which placed the nation 13th globally. This more than two‑fold increase over a 17‑year span reflects expanding electrification and the addition of renewable‑energy projects that have diversified the country’s power mix. Compared with regional peers, Cabo Verde’s 2007 level exceeds Bangladesh’s 174.01 kilowatt‑hours and approaches Chad’s 218.84 kilowatt‑hours, illustrating a relatively high per‑capita consumption for a small island economy. The upward trajectory has been driven by rising domestic demand, tourism growth, and modest improvements in grid reliability, yet the narrow gap between the 2006 peak and the 2007 figure suggests a plateau may be forming. Continued investment in solar and wind capacity, coupled with energy‑efficiency policies, will be crucial to sustain growth and prevent a future stagnation of per‑capita energy use.
