Ukraine Energy Use per Capita
Energy use per capita EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE
Ukraine's energy use per capita was 1,236 in 2025, ranked 82nd globally. This represents a 18.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Ukraine's energy use per capita stood at 1,236 in 2025, a decline of +272 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,236 by 2025. Ukraine ranked 82nd globally.
Ukraine's energy use per capita has experienced a significant decline over the past three and a half decades, from a peak of 4,841.72 in 1990 to 1,236.01 in 2025, the lowest recorded value. This downward trajectory is consistent with other post-Soviet countries, such as Moldova, which ranks closely at 1,280.37. The decline in energy use per capita in Ukraine can be attributed to various factors, including economic restructuring and a shift towards more efficient energy production and consumption patterns. The country's energy use per capita is lower than that of Hong Kong SAR, China, which stands at 1,284.51, despite the latter's more affluent economy. Looking ahead, any significant improvements in Ukraine's energy efficiency or a shift towards renewable energy sources could potentially alter the downward trend and lead to a stabilization or even a slight increase in energy use per capita.
