North Macedonia Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
North Macedonia's energy use per capita was 1,447 in 2025, ranked 77th globally. This represents a 0.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
North Macedonia's energy use per capita stood at 1,447 in 2025, a decline of +3 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,447 by 2025. North Macedonia ranked 77th globally.
North Macedonia’s energy use per capita has risen modestly over the 35‑year series, moving from 1,200.34 in 1990 to 1,447.02 in 2025, placing the country 77th among World Bank reporting economies. The metric reached its all‑time high of 1,619.76 in 2011, a level that remains above the current figure, while the trough of 1,180.71 in 1991 marked the lowest post‑independence consumption. Compared with peers of similar rank, North Macedonia’s 2025 consumption is slightly below Brazil’s 1,501.59 and above Malta’s 1,412.72, reflecting a middle‑ground trajectory within the region. The gradual increase since the early 1990s suggests a persistent, though not accelerating, growth in per‑capita energy demand, driven by expanding industrial activity and modest improvements in household electrification. Continued investment in energy efficiency and a shift toward renewable sources could temper future rises, potentially stabilising or even reducing per‑capita use in the coming decade.
