Oman Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Oman's energy use per capita was 6,367 in 2025, ranked 11th globally. This represents a 8.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Oman's energy use per capita stood at 6,367 in 2025, a rise of +500 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6,367 by 2025. Oman ranked 11th globally.
Oman's energy use per capita has risen sharply from 2,390.50 in 1990, the all‑time trough, to 6,367.40 in 2025, placing the nation at rank 11 globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2011 at 7,155.54 before a modest decline, suggesting that rapid industrialisation and expanding desalination capacity drove the early surge while recent efficiency measures have tempered growth. Compared with peer economies, Oman's 2025 level exceeds the United States’ 6,310.82 and approaches Canada’s 7,013.49, reflecting a consumption pattern more typical of high‑income, energy‑intensive nations despite its smaller population. The 34‑year coverage shows a persistent increase, albeit at a slower rate since the 2010s, indicating that policy interventions such as renewable‑energy incentives and stricter building codes are beginning to offset demand. Continued investment in solar and wind projects, coupled with further diversification away from oil‑linked electricity generation, will be crucial to bend the long‑term trend toward lower per‑capita energy use.
