Overview
Yemen, Republic of's energy use per capita stood at 45 in 2025, a decline of +24 from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 45 by 2025. Yemen, Republic of ranked 148th globally.
Yemen’s energy use per capita has fallen dramatically over the 34‑year series, slipping from 180.98 kilowatt‑hours in 1990 to a trough of 45.24 in 2025, the lowest value among 148 countries in the latest World Bank ranking. The downward trajectory peaked in 2009 at 311.08 kilowatt‑hours, a level that briefly surpassed the current consumption of regional peers such as South Sudan (64.18) and Lebanon (80.41). The steep decline reflects prolonged conflict, deteriorating infrastructure and limited access to modern energy services, which have curtailed industrial activity and household electricity use. While the 2025 figure marks the all‑time low, modest improvements in security and international assistance for renewable mini‑grids could stabilize or modestly raise per‑capita energy use in the coming years, provided that reconstruction efforts prioritize reliable power supply.
