Haiti Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Haiti's energy use per capita was 358 in 2025, ranked 136th globally. This represents a 5.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Haiti's energy use per capita stood at 358 in 2025, a decline of +19 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 358 by 2025. Haiti ranked 136th globally.
Haiti’s energy use per capita in 2025 stood at 358.45 kilograms of oil equivalent, placing the nation at 136th in the world and marginally below Nigeria’s 359.40 and Ghana’s 371.16. The figure reflects a modest rise from the earliest recorded level of 350.87 in 1990, yet it remains well beneath the all‑time peak of 419.51 reached in 2018, a year when expansion of diesel‑generator capacity briefly lifted consumption. The lowest point occurred in 1994 at 305.95, a trough linked to severe economic contraction and limited access to electricity. Over the 34‑year coverage period, Haiti’s per‑capita energy use has fluctuated within a relatively narrow band, suggesting that improvements in infrastructure and renewable‑energy adoption are needed to close the gap with regional peers. Continued investment in grid expansion and off‑grid solar solutions could shift the trajectory upward and sustain higher consumption levels without compromising affordability.
