Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Madagascar's energy use per capita was 319 in 2025, ranked 140th globally. This represents a 3.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Madagascar's energy use per capita stood at 319 in 2025, a rise of +10 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 319 by 2025. Madagascar ranked 140th globally.
Madagascar’s energy use per capita rose from 224.50 kilowatt‑hours in 1990 to a peak of 318.63 kilowatt‑hours in 2025, the highest level recorded over the 34‑year series. The lowest point occurred in 1994 at 209.55 kilowatt‑hours, after which consumption has generally increased, reflecting expanding electrification and modest industrial growth. In 2025 Madagascar ranked 140th globally, with a per‑capita figure of 318.63, placing it slightly below peers such as Bangladesh (327.40) and Burkina Faso (309.88) but above Benin (336.47) and Senegal (304.21). The upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in renewable generation and grid extension could sustain modest gains, while any slowdown in economic activity or fuel price spikes might curb further growth. Future trends will depend on policy reforms and the pace of infrastructure development.
