Eswatini Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Eswatini's energy use per capita was 916 in 2025, ranked 95th globally. This represents a 4.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Eswatini's energy use per capita stood at 916 in 2025, a decline of +43 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 916 by 2025. Eswatini ranked 95th globally.
Eswatini's energy use per capita, at 915.90 units in 2025, reflects a decline from its peak of 1,171.50 units in 1990. This reduction of approximately 21.7% over the past three decades aligns with global trends in energy consumption. The trough, reached in 2010 at 835.94 units, marks the lowest point in the country's energy use per capita since 1990. Compared to peer countries, Eswatini's energy consumption remains relatively high, with Tunisia boasting a comparable figure of 938.04 units in 2025. The country's reliance on traditional energy sources, such as oil and coal, may contribute to its relatively high energy use per capita. As Eswatini continues to transition towards cleaner energy sources and adopt more energy-efficient technologies, its energy use per capita is likely to decrease, potentially aligning more closely with global averages.
