Per Capita Electricity Generation
1990 - 2019
The graph shows the average annual electricity generated per person from 1990 till 2019 in Kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Data Sources
Calculated using the electricity generation data and population data from United Nations available at https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/Population/
Note
EU (27) figures are excluding Malta, since data for the country is not available.
Total Electricity Generated
1990 - 2019
The graph shows the total electricity generated by countries from 1990 till 2019 in Terawatt-hours (TWh). This includes the contribution from renewable energy sources including large hydro power plants.
