Senegal Energy Use per Capita

Senegal's energy use per capita has demonstrated a moderate increase over the past three and a half decades, with some fluctuations. The country's all-time peak of 317.49 units in 2011 was surpassed by Madagascar, its closest peer, but still positioned Senegal within the lower middle range globally. In contrast, the lowest point of 204.21 units in 1994 represents a trough that preceded a gradual ascent. As of 2025, Senegal's energy use per capita stands at 304.21 units, ranking it 142nd globally. This ranking is closely trailed by Burkina Faso, which recorded 309.88 units in the same year. The country's energy use per capita has generally trended upward since the early 1990s, but the pace of growth has slowed in recent years. Continued economic development and investments in the energy sector may help sustain Senegal's upward trajectory, potentially leading to improved global rankings if the country can maintain or accelerate its growth in energy use per capita.
