Overview
Chile's energy use per capita stood at 2,039 in 2025, a decline of +0 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2,039 by 2025. Chile ranked 54th globally.
Chile's energy use per capita has exhibited fluctuations over the past 35 years, with the country's usage peaking at 2,177.50 in 2013 and troughing at 1,042.64 in 1990. The most recent data available shows Chile's energy use per capita at 2,038.92, ranking 54th globally. In comparison, Latvia, a peer country, had a higher energy use per capita of 2,212.73. Chile's energy consumption pattern bears resemblance to that of the United Kingdom, where the energy use per capita is 1,982.62. The steady increase in energy use per capita since 1990 reflects the country's growing economic activity and industrialization. However, the current rate of growth has slowed down significantly, with the 2025 figure being 7.15% lower than the all-time peak in 2013. The trajectory of energy use per capita in Chile may shift as the country transitions to cleaner energy sources, potentially leading to a decrease in energy use per capita in the near future.
