Overview
Poland's energy use per capita stood at 2,703 in 2025, a rise of +64 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2,703 by 2025. Poland ranked 39th globally.
Poland's energy use per capita has exhibited a relatively stable trend over the past three and a half decades, with the latest available data from the World Bank indicating a value of 2,703.20 in 2025. Despite experiencing a recessionary trough in 2002 with an energy use per capita of 2,312.59, Poland's energy consumption has steadily increased, culminating in an all-time peak of 2,920.11 in 2021. Compared to its European peers, Poland's energy use per capita remains lower than that of Germany, which had a value of 2,766.35 in 2025. The country's energy consumption patterns are likely influenced by its economic development and growing industrial base. A shift towards renewable energy sources and increased energy efficiency measures could potentially alter the trajectory of Poland's energy use per capita in the coming years, particularly if the country accelerates its transition to a low-carbon economy.
