Chad's energy use per capita has experienced a significant decline since its peak in 1990, when it reached 296.86 units. The country's energy consumption per capita continued to fluctuate throughout the 1990s and 2000s, before plummeting to an all-time low of 190.37 units in 2019. As of 2025, Chad's energy use per capita stands at 196.47 units, ranking 144th globally. In comparison, Eritrea, which shares similarities with Chad in terms of economic development and energy access, has maintained a relatively higher level of energy use per capita, with a value of 293.45 units in 2025. Chad's energy use per capita has been steadily decreasing, indicating a reduction in energy consumption per individual. A potential shift in the trajectory of this trend could be driven by improvements in energy efficiency, particularly in the industrial and residential sectors, or significant investments in renewable energy sources, which could lead to increased energy access and consumption in the country.
