Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Peru's energy use per capita was 801 in 2025, ranked 100th globally. This represents a 3.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Peru's energy use per capita stood at 801 in 2025, a decline of +25 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 801 by 2025. Peru ranked 100th globally.
Peru's energy use per capita has exhibited fluctuations over the past three decades. The country's energy consumption per capita peaked in 2022 at 826.71 units, surpassing that of its peer, Zambia, but falling short of Colombia's 852.03 units. Conversely, Peru's all-time energy use trough occurred in 1992 at 404.73 units, a period marked by economic stagnation. The country has since shown a steady increase in energy consumption, with the latest available data from 2025 indicating an energy use per capita of 801.33 units, ranking 100th globally. This growth in energy use is paralleled by India's 799.65 units, a country with a similarly diverse economy. Despite this growth, Peru's energy use per capita remains below the global average, and its trajectory may be influenced by the country's ongoing efforts to transition to renewable energy sources, which could potentially alter the upward trend in energy use over the coming years.
