Türkiye Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Türkiye's energy use per capita was 1,916 in 2025, ranked 58th globally. This represents a 3.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Türkiye's energy use per capita stood at 1,916 in 2025, a rise of +67 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,916 by 2025. Türkiye ranked 58th globally.
Turkey’s energy use per capita has risen steadily over the 35‑year series, moving from a trough of 887.16 kWh in 1991 to a peak of 1,916.48 kWh in 2025, the latest figure that places the country 58th in the world. This doubling of per‑capita consumption reflects expanding industrial activity, urbanisation and greater household electrification, while the level remains just below that of Greece (1,831.41 kWh) and close to Gabon’s 1,916.93 kWh, underscoring Turkey’s position among middle‑income energy users. The upward trajectory mirrors regional trends in which rising incomes and infrastructure investment drive higher demand, yet it also signals growing pressure on the national grid and the need for efficiency measures. Continued diversification toward renewable sources and improvements in energy‑intensity could moderate future growth, suggesting that without policy intervention the upward trend is likely to persist.
