Benefit from up to 2 000 up-to-date data series for 186 countries in Global Energy & CO2 data
A data overview is available in the global energy statistics app
Total Energy Consumption
Total per capita consumption reached 5.3 toe in 2019. Per capita electricity consumption was around 6 400 kWh.
Total energy consumption has been increasing rapidly since 2015, by 2.6%/year, to 768 Mtoe in 2019. Previously, it had decreased slightly between 2012 and 2015 (-1%/year) due to an economic slowdown and a recession in 2015.
In 2019, gas represented the largest share of consumption (54%), followed by oil (20%), coal (16%), nuclear (7%), hydro (2%), and biomass (1%).

Power Consumption
Total electricity consumption has increased slightly since 2010 (0.9%/year), reaching 929 TWh in 2019.
Industry is the main electricity consumer with 37% of the total (-9 points since 2000), ahead of the residential sector with 18% (20% in 2000) and services with 17% (doubling since 2000). Transport accounts for 6% of total electricity consumption, i.e. a significant share compared to other countries, due to the strong presence of public transport.

Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Government target, set in 2014 (State Programme on Energy Efficiency and Energy Development), for a 2.5% share of wind and solar in electricity generation by 2020 will not be reached, with only 1.2 GW installed at the end of 2019 and around 1.4 GW commissioned or under construction in 2020.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
Russia ratified the Paris agreement in September 2019. In November 2020, the country submittedits first NDC to the UNFCCC. By 2030, the country aims to limit GHG emissions to 70% of their 1990 level (3.1 GtCO2eq), corresponding to a 30% cut in GHG emissions over 1990-2030. Earlier, in November 2020, the Russian president signed a decree ordering the government to work towards a cut in GHG emissions to 70% of their 1990 level by 2030, taking into account the maximum possible absorptive capacity of forests.
