Gibraltar Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Gibraltar's energy use per capita was 5,902 in 2025, ranked 14th globally. This represents a 9.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Gibraltar's energy use per capita stood at 5,902 in 2025, a decline of +620 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5,902 by 2025. Gibraltar ranked 14th globally.
Gibraltar’s energy use per capita has risen sharply over the 34‑year series, climbing from a trough of 2,115.37 kilowatt‑hours in 1990 to a peak of 7,476.80 in 2019 before easing to 5,902.39 in 2025, which places the territory at 14th highest worldwide. The post‑1990 expansion reflects both growing tourism demand and increased reliance on imported electricity, while the modest decline after 2019 coincides with the adoption of renewable‑energy incentives and a modest contraction in commercial activity during the early 2020s. Gibraltar’s 2025 figure is comparable to the Russian Federation’s 5,979.78 and slightly above Finland’s 5,713.76, underscoring its position among high‑consumption economies despite its limited land area. Continued investment in solar photovoltaics and energy‑efficiency retrofits could further curb per‑capita consumption, suggesting that future trajectories may trend downward if policy momentum is maintained.
