Croatia Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Croatia's energy use per capita was 2,248 in 2025, ranked 50th globally. This represents a 0.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Croatia's energy use per capita stood at 2,248 in 2025, a rise of +11 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2,248 by 2025. Croatia ranked 50th globally.
Croatia’s energy use per capita has risen modestly over the 35‑year series, moving from 1,983.34 kilowatt‑hours in 1990 to 2,247.82 in 2025, ranking 50th globally. The indicator peaked in 2007 at 2,335.40 before receding to a trough of 1,576.33 in 1994, reflecting the post‑war reconstruction surge and subsequent efficiency gains. Compared with regional peers, Croatia’s 2025 level is slightly below Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 2,261.76 and Italy’s 2,292.56, but marginally above Spain’s 2,218.51, suggesting a middle‑of‑the‑road energy intensity within the Southern European bloc. The upward trajectory since the 1990s has been driven by gradual industrial expansion and modest improvements in household consumption patterns, while the post‑2007 decline aligns with broader EU energy‑efficiency policies. Continued alignment with EU climate targets and further adoption of renewable technologies could temper growth and potentially reverse the modest rise observed in recent years.
