Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Suriname's energy use per capita was 1,702 in 2025, ranked 66th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Suriname's energy use per capita stood at 1,702 in 2025, a rise of +7 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,702 by 2025. Suriname ranked 66th globally.
Suriname's energy use per capita has exhibited a fluctuating trend over the past 25 years. Beginning at 1,279.91 in 2000, the indicator rose to a peak of 1,785.95 in 2014, before gradually declining to 1,702.06 in 2025. This recent value ranks Suriname 66th globally, positioning it closely behind Montenegro's 1,705.07. The country's energy use per capita was at its lowest point in 2002, with a value of 963.41. Notably, the peak in 2014 was significantly higher than the all-time low in 2002, indicating a substantial increase in energy consumption over the period. However, the recent decline suggests a possible shift in energy usage patterns. A sustained increase in renewable energy sources or energy efficiency measures could potentially alter the trajectory of Suriname's energy use per capita, leading to a more stable and environmentally friendly trend.
