Indicator Summary
The availability of power per capita is a key indicator of a nation’s energy efficiency, development, and quality of life. It measures the average electricity available to each individual within a country over a specified period, typically expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This metric reflects a country’s ability to generate, distribute, and sustain energy resources for its population. Higher per capita power availability is often associated with robust infrastructure, industrial growth, and better access to basic amenities like healthcare, education, and communication. Conversely, low availability points to gaps in energy production or distribution, often resulting in energy poverty and slower socio-economic progress. Factors like population growth, advancements in renewable energy, and policies promoting efficient energy usage significantly influence this metric. Tracking per capita power availability is crucial for governments and policymakers to ensure sustainable energy access, meet development goals, and mitigate the adverse effects of energy inequalities.
