Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Cuba's energy use per capita was 756 in 2025, ranked 104th globally. This represents a 7.3% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Cuba's energy use per capita stood at 756 in 2025, a decline of +59 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 756 by 2025. Cuba ranked 104th globally.
Cuba's energy use per capita has undergone significant fluctuations over the past three decades. At its peak in 1990, the country's energy use per capita reached 1,637.47, a figure that is now surpassed by several of its regional peers, such as El Salvador with 785.81. In contrast, Cuba's energy use per capita has been steadily declining, reaching a trough of 756.22 in 2025, a drop of nearly 54% from its peak. This decline is likely a result of the country's efforts to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and transition towards renewable energy sources. As a result, Cuba now ranks #104 globally in terms of energy use per capita. Looking ahead, a significant increase in foreign investment in Cuba's energy sector could potentially alter the country's trajectory and lead to an uptick in energy use per capita.
