Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Colombia's energy use per capita was 852 in 2025, ranked 98th globally. This represents a 1.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Colombia's energy use per capita stood at 852 in 2025, a decline of +11 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 852 by 2025. Colombia ranked 98th globally.
Colombia's energy use per capita has experienced a moderate increase over the past three and a half decades, with the latest figure standing at 852.03 kilograms of oil equivalent per capita in 2025. This level ranks the country at 98 globally, surpassing Zambia's 847.90 but lagging behind Albania's 886.13 and Ecuador's 896.21. Notably, Colombia's energy use per capita reached an all-time peak of 910.98 in 2016, but subsequently declined to an all-time trough of 631.89 in 2004. The country's energy use per capita has been gradually increasing since then, with a 13% rise from 751.44 in 1990 to the current level. This upward trend is likely to continue, driven by growing economic activity and urbanization, potentially leading to an increase in energy demand and higher rankings in the global energy use per capita table. However, a shift towards cleaner energy sources and more efficient use of resources could alter this trajectory.
