Mozambique Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Mozambique's energy use per capita was 345 in 2025, ranked 137th globally. This represents a 3.7% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Mozambique's energy use per capita stood at 345 in 2025, a decline of +13 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 345 by 2025. Mozambique ranked 137th globally.
Mozambique's energy use per capita has fluctuated significantly over the past three decades. The country's all-time peak of 443.81 units occurred in 1990, coinciding with the post-civil war reconstruction period. However, energy use declined steadily, reaching an all-time trough of 317.88 units in 2010. Since then, energy use per capita has gradually increased, reaching 345.21 units in 2025, still ranking 137th globally. For context, Haiti, with an energy use per capita of 358.45 units, ranks above Mozambique, while Benin, with 336.47 units, is closer in ranking. Mozambique's energy use per capita remains below the global average, reflecting the country's ongoing development challenges. A significant increase in domestic energy production or a shift towards cleaner energy sources could alter the trajectory of Mozambique's energy use per capita, potentially leading to a more rapid increase in the coming years.
