Ecuador Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Ecuador's energy use per capita was 896 in 2025, ranked 96th globally. This represents a 0.9% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Ecuador's energy use per capita stood at 896 in 2025, a decline of +9 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 896 by 2025. Ecuador ranked 96th globally.
Ecuador’s energy use per capita has risen steadily from 604.39 in 1990 to 896.21 in 2025, placing the country 96th globally and situating it between peers such as Albania (886.13) and Tunisia (938.04). The upward trajectory peaked in 2014 at 983.24, a level that remains above the 1993 trough of 562.97, reflecting expanding industrial activity and increased electrification of households. Over the 34‑year series, the growth rate has outpaced that of Eswatini (915.90) but lagged slightly behind Colombia (852.03) in recent years, suggesting that Ecuador’s energy intensity is converging with other middle‑income economies in the region. Continued investment in renewable generation and efficiency measures could moderate the rise, while sustained economic expansion may keep the upward pressure on per‑capita consumption. Future shifts in policy and technology will therefore be decisive in shaping whether the current trend accelerates or stabilises.
