Ukraine Total Energy Production & Consumption

Ukraine's total energy consumption per capita fell from 4.9 toe in 1990 to 2.9 toe in 2010 and 2.1 toe in 2021. It even dropped by 19% in 2022 to 1.7 toe, which is 55% lower than the average for the EU.

Electricity consumption per capacity dropped by 21% in 2022 due to the Russian invasion and reached 2 246 kWh. Previously, it had been around 2 700 kWh starting in 2018, which was around half the electricity consumption compared to the EU.
