Overview
Greece's energy use per capita stood at 1,831 in 2025, a decline of +44 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,831 by 2025. Greece ranked 60th globally.
Greece's energy use per capita has followed a downward trend since reaching an all-time peak of 2,758.67 in 2005. This decline is reflected in the latest available data, which shows an energy use per capita of 1,831.41 in 2025. This value ranks Greece 60th globally, placing it behind peer countries such as Azerbaijan, with an energy use per capita of 1,825.35, and above South Africa, with an energy use per capita of 1,779.78. The country's energy use per capita has been on a steady decline since 2005, with a notable trough of 1,831.41 in 2025, marking the lowest point in the 35-year study period. This downward trend suggests that Greece has made significant strides in reducing its energy consumption per capita. However, the trajectory of this trend may be altered by changes in the country's economic conditions, with a potential increase in energy use per capita if economic growth leads to increased energy demand.
