Mongolia Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Mongolia's energy use per capita was 1,946 in 2025, ranked 56th globally. This represents a 2.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Mongolia's energy use per capita stood at 1,946 in 2025, a rise of +56 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,946 by 2025. Mongolia ranked 56th globally.
Mongolia’s energy use per capita stood at 1,946.17 kilowatt‑hours in 2025, placing the country 56th in the world and just below the United Kingdom’s 1,982.62 and Chile’s 2,038.92 for the same year. After a low of 932.37 in 1999, consumption rose steadily, reaching an all‑time peak of 2,018.31 in 2019 before a modest decline to the current level. The 34‑year series shows a clear upward trajectory driven by expanding mining activity and increased electrification, yet the recent dip suggests the impact of energy‑efficiency measures and a shift toward renewable sources. Compared with peers such as Gabon (1,916.93) and Türkiye (1,916.48), Mongolia remains slightly above the regional average, reflecting its resource‑intensive economy. If investment in cleaner technologies accelerates and policy incentives for energy conservation deepen, the upward trend could moderate, potentially stabilising per‑capita use around current levels.
