Jordan Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Jordan's energy use per capita was 625 in 2025, ranked 109th globally. This represents a 17.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Jordan's energy use per capita stood at 625 in 2025, a decline of +129 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 625 by 2025. Jordan ranked 109th globally.
Jordan’s energy use per capita has fallen sharply over the 34‑year series, dropping from 903.94 in 1990 to a trough of 625.13 in 2025, the lowest value recorded and ranking the country 109th globally. The decline follows a pronounced peak of 1,107.31 in 2005, after which consumption contracted by more than 40 percent. This downward trajectory places Jordan slightly above Morocco’s 601.81 and below Namibia’s 641.19, reflecting a regional shift toward lower per‑capita energy intensity. The reduction is attributable to a combination of policy reforms, efficiency gains in the electricity sector, and the adoption of renewable sources, which have curtailed reliance on fossil‑fuel imports. As Jordan continues to expand solar and wind capacity and implements stricter building‑code standards, per‑capita energy use is likely to keep trending downward, provided economic growth does not outpace efficiency improvements.
