Canada Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Canada's energy use per capita was 7,013 in 2025, ranked 10th globally. This represents a 4.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Canada's energy use per capita stood at 7,013 in 2025, a decline of +323 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7,013 by 2025. Canada ranked 10th globally.
Canada's energy use per capita has exhibited a downward trend since its peak in 2006, when the country's citizens consumed 8,427.44 kilograms of energy per capita, a figure significantly higher than that of its peer countries. As of 2025, Canada's energy use per capita has declined to 7,013.49 kilograms, ranking 10th globally. This decrease is notable, especially when compared to countries like Turkmenistan, which has a slightly higher energy use per capita at 7,238.12 kilograms. The contrast with Turkmenistan's relatively stable energy use is particularly striking, given Canada's significant decline. The 1990 value of 7,641.55 kilograms suggests that Canada's energy use per capita has been trending downward over the past three and a half decades. A continued shift towards renewable energy sources and more efficient energy consumption practices could potentially alter this trajectory, potentially leading to further decreases in Canada's energy use per capita.
