Singapore Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Singapore's energy use per capita was 5,500 in 2025, ranked 16th globally. This represents a 4.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Singapore's energy use per capita stood at 5,500 in 2025, a rise of +217 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 5,500 by 2025. Singapore ranked 16th globally.
Singapore's energy use per capita has exhibited a fluctuating trend over the past three decades, with a notable peak in 2004 at 7,371.03 units, a significant increase from its trough in 1990 at 3,782.72 units. The country's energy use per capita has since declined, standing at 5,499.88 units in 2025, ranking it 16th globally. Compared to its peers, Singapore's value is closest to that of Korea, which stood at 5,446.85 units in 2025. This trend suggests a moderate decrease in energy use per capita over the years, likely due to increased energy efficiency measures and a shift towards cleaner energy sources. However, the trajectory may change with the adoption of more stringent policies to reduce carbon emissions and transition to renewable energy sources, which could alter the course of energy use per capita in Singapore.
