About this data

This counts electricity produced and imported, minus what is exported and lost in transmission. Industry is included, so countries with aluminium smelters or data centres and few people, such as Iceland, rank far above the rest.

Cold and very hot climates use more for heating and air conditioning. A household fridge uses roughly 300 to 500 kWh a year.
