Finland Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Finland's energy use per capita was 5,714 in 2025, ranked 15th globally. This represents a 2.6% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Finland's energy use per capita stood at 5,714 in 2025, a decline of +153 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5,714 by 2025. Finland ranked 15th globally.
Finland’s energy use per capita measured in kilograms of oil equivalent has shown modest fluctuation over the 35‑year span from 1990 to 2025, rising from 5,691.62 in the earliest year to 5,713.76 in 2025, which places the country 15th globally. The highest level was recorded in 2004 at 7,129.00, while the lowest occurred in 1992 at 5,381.03, indicating a pronounced peak during the early 2000s followed by a gradual decline to the current figure. Compared with peer economies, Finland’s 2025 consumption sits slightly below the Russian Federation’s 5,979.78 and above Singapore’s 5,499.88, reflecting a middle‑of‑the‑road position among nations with similar rankings. The long‑term downward trend since the 2004 apex suggests that continued improvements in energy efficiency, renewable integration and policy incentives could further curb per‑capita energy demand, steering Finland toward a lower trajectory in the coming decade.
