Russian Federation Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Russian Federation's energy use per capita was 5,980 in 2025, ranked 13th globally. This represents a 6.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Russian Federation's energy use per capita stood at 5,980 in 2025, a rise of +379 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5,980 by 2025. Russian Federation ranked 13th globally.
The Russian Federation's energy use per capita has remained relatively stable over the past three decades, with an all-time high of 5,979.78 kilograms of oil equivalent per person in 2025. This value places Russia 13th globally, eclipsing that of Finland with 5,713.76 kilograms per capita. In contrast, the country's energy use per capita was at its lowest in 1998, at 3,982.27 kilograms, during a period of economic transition following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Since then, Russia's energy use per capita has gradually increased, driven in part by rising living standards and energy consumption. The country's energy use profile is comparable to that of other nations with significant oil reserves, such as Oman, which ranks higher with 6,367.40 kilograms per capita. Looking ahead, a significant shift in energy policy or a change in global energy prices could alter Russia's energy use trajectory, potentially leading to increased efficiency or reduced consumption in the coming years.
