The bar chart above shows the top ten countries for the production and consumption of electricity in 2014.

The bar chart provides an analysis of electricity generation and usage levels by the Top 10 global energy users in 2014.

A broad assessment of the data reveals that China and the USA were by far the greatest users and producers of electricity, while the bottom half of the Top 10 had similar electricity production and consumption needs.

China was the world’s leading energy generator and consumer in 2014, producing around 5500 billion kWh and consuming almost the same amount. In second place, the USA produced and consumed about 20 percent less electricity than China. The remainder of the Top 5 – Russia, India, and Japan – generated and used up about four to five times less power than China or the USA.

In seventh and eighth place, France and Brazil both produced and consumed similar amounts of electricity, with production figures of approximately 550 billion kWh and consumption of around 450 billion kWh. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that ninth-placed Germany was the only country whose energy consumption was higher than its production. In fact, its consumption figures were the fifth-highest. Finally, rounding out the Top 10 was South Korea with electricity generation and usage numbers a little under 500 billion kWh.
