Primary energy consumption per capita in the Asia-Pacific region in 2023, by country
(in kilowatt-hours)
According to the source, energy consumption here refers to primary energy consumption adjusted for efficiency losses in fossil fuels by treating non-fossil sources, like wind and solar, as equally inefficient as coal or gas. This adjustment is made by dividing energy from non-fossil sources by a standard thermal efficiency factor, usually around 0.4.
