Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Pakistan's energy use per capita was 489 in 2025, ranked 121st globally. This represents a 3.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Pakistan's energy use per capita stood at 489 in 2025, a rise of +18 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 489 by 2025. Pakistan ranked 121st globally.
Pakistan's energy use per capita, at 488.97 in 2025, ranks #121 globally according to the World Bank. The country's energy consumption has experienced a steady increase since the early 1990s, with the all-time peak in 2025 surpassing the previous high of 367.12 in 1991. In comparison, Uganda, a peer country, has a higher energy use per capita at 501.42, while Sri Lanka, another peer, has a comparable level of 476.07. The consistent growth in energy use per capita over the past three decades suggests a rising demand for energy in Pakistan. The country's industrialization and growing population have likely contributed to this trend. However, the increasing reliance on fossil fuels and the need to transition towards cleaner energy sources may lead to a shift in Pakistan's energy policy, potentially altering the trajectory of its energy use per capita in the coming years.
