Highlights
The power consumption per capita in the U.S. was the
highest among the 5 regions, reaching 12,014 kWh in 2018,
followed by the OECD, China, other European counties,
and the UK, whose power consumption per capita was
4,900 kWh, 4,587 kWh, and 4,558 kWh respectively in
2018.
Based on the data of the U.S. and OECD, China's power
consumption per capita is still much lower than major
developed countries, indicating a growth potential for power
consumption in China.
The SEA had the lowest power consumption per capita,
1,422 kWh, among the presented regions and countries.
The level of electrification in SEA needs to be improved
and the power market in SEA is of huge potential.
The differences in power consumption per capita in
different regions are mainly contributed to three factors: the
economic development level, the industrial structure, and
the residents' living habits. In U.S., the residential sector
takes a large proportion of the total power consumption.
While in China, the secondary industry consumes the most
of power, which takes more than 60% in the total power
consumption.
Comparing the power consumptions per capita of the
selected regions in 2016 and 2018, it can be found that the
power consumptions per capita in the US and the UK
showed a decreasing trend, which indicates that the power
consumptions per capita in those developed countries have
saturated. However, with the further economic growth of
developing countries, such as China and the SEA, the
power consumption in these regions keeps increasing.

organisation with 36 member countries. The majority of member countries are developed countries..
