Overview
Serbia's energy use per capita stood at 2,534 in 2025, a rise of +156 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 2,534 by 2025. Serbia ranked 41st globally.
Serbia's energy use per capita has experienced a significant increase over the years, with the latest available figure standing at 2,534.33 kilogram oil equivalent per capita in 2025. Having peaked in the same year, this value marks a considerable improvement from the all-time trough of 1,570.45 kilogram oil equivalent per capita in 1994. Interestingly, Serbia's energy use per capita lags behind that of its European peers, such as the European Union, which has a higher value of 2,679.10 kilogram oil equivalent per capita. Israel, a non-European peer, also surpasses Serbia's energy use per capita with a value of 2,511.48 kilogram oil equivalent per capita. The upward trend in Serbia's energy use per capita suggests an increasing reliance on energy resources, which could be driven by the country's growing economy and industrial development. A shift towards renewable energy sources or more efficient energy consumption patterns could potentially alter this trajectory in the future.
