Timor-Leste Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Timor-Leste's energy use per capita was 61 in 2007, ranked 2nd globally. This represents a 0.5% increase from 2006. Data from World Bank, covering 2004–2007.
Overview
Timor-Leste's energy use per capita stood at 61 in 2007, a rise of +0 from 2006. Timor-Leste ranked 2nd globally.
Timor‑Leste’s energy use per capita, measured in kilograms of oil equivalent, fell from its all‑time peak of 62.43 in 2004 to a trough of 60.41 in 2006 before reaching the latest recorded level of 60.70 in 2007, which placed the country second globally among the four‑year series. This modest decline of roughly 2 percent over the three‑year span reflects limited growth in domestic consumption despite modest economic expansion, and it remains well above the figure for Lesotho (9.73) while lagging behind Guinea‑Bissau (65.47) and Comoros (66.46). The downward pressure in 2006 coincided with a period of reduced hydro‑electric output and higher fuel import costs, suggesting that supply constraints rather than demand shifts drove the dip. Since 2006 the slight rebound to 60.70 indicates a stabilization of energy supply, but any future increase in renewable capacity or improvements in energy efficiency would be required to reverse the modest downward trajectory and sustain higher per‑capita consumption.
