Electric power consumption (kWh per capita)

This metric reflects the average energy usage for each individual within a specific geographic area, providing crucial insights into the efficiency and sustainability of energy production and consumption. It encompasses the total output from power plants and combined heat and power facilities, adjusted for losses incurred during transmission, distribution, and transformation, as well as energy consumed internally by these plants. By examining this figure, stakeholders can gauge the effectiveness of energy policies, monitor trends in consumption patterns, and identify opportunities for reducing waste. Elevated consumption levels may signal higher living standards or industrial activity, while lower figures could indicate a need for improved infrastructure or energy conservation measures. Understanding this balance is essential for formulating strategies that promote sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Source:
