Turkmenistan Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Turkmenistan's energy use per capita was 7,238 in 2025, ranked 9th globally. This represents a 28.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Turkmenistan's energy use per capita stood at 7,238 in 2025, a rise of +1,612 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7,238 by 2025. Turkmenistan ranked 9th globally.
Turkmenistan’s energy use per capita has risen steadily over the 34‑year series, climbing from 4,643.23 kWh in 1990 to an all‑time peak of 7,238.12 kWh in 2025, which places the country ninth globally. The lowest point occurred in 2002 at 2,214.79 kWh, after which consumption accelerated, reflecting expanded gas‑fired power generation and increased industrial activity. By 2025 Turkmenistan’s per‑capita use slightly trails Saudi Arabia’s 7,274.81 kWh and exceeds Canada’s 7,013.49 kWh, underscoring its position among high‑consumption oil‑rich economies. The upward trajectory mirrors the nation’s reliance on its abundant hydrocarbon resources and ongoing investments in energy‑intensive sectors such as petrochemicals and fertilizer production. Future shifts in global energy markets, adoption of renewable technologies, or policy reforms aimed at energy efficiency could moderate the current rise, potentially altering Turkmenistan’s consumption pattern in the coming decade.
