Israel Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Israel's energy use per capita was 2,511 in 2025, ranked 42nd globally. This represents a 2.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Israel's energy use per capita stood at 2,511 in 2025, a rise of +52 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2,511 by 2025. Israel ranked 42nd globally.
Israel’s energy use per capita in 2025 stood at 2,511.48 kilowatt‑hours, placing the country 42nd worldwide and slightly above the 1990 level of 2,460.48 but well below the all‑time peak of 3,130.72 recorded in 2008. The early 1990s trough of 2,324.56 marked the lowest point in the 35‑year series, after which consumption gradually rose, driven by expanding industrial activity and higher household demand. Compared with peers of similar rank, Israel’s 2025 figure exceeds Hungary’s 2,497.05 and is marginally below Serbia’s 2,534.33, while remaining under the European Union average of 2,679.10. The post‑peak decline after 2008 reflects modest improvements in energy efficiency and a shift toward less carbon‑intensive sources, but the recent uptick suggests that further policy incentives for renewable adoption and demand‑side management will be crucial to reverse the modest upward trajectory.
