This bar chart demonstrates amounts of electricity usage and generation in ten countries which have had the highest amounts in 2014. Units are measrued in billions of kWh both for production and consumption. Overall, eight countries out of the ten reported countries were generating electricity more than their usage in 2014, where two countries, including Germany and Korea republic have consumed electricity less than the amount they had produced in the same year.
China was the major producer and consumer of electricity in 2014 by generating 5398 billion kWh and using 5332 bkWh. US was also one of the main countries that has contributed in electrical power production and consumption by producing and consuming 4099 bkWh and 3866 bkWh, repectively. Also India and Canada were two main producers of electricity, due to the great surplus they have generated in comparison to their usage. Canada has produced around 20% and similarly, India has produced approximately 16% more electricity in respect to their use.
On the other hand, in contrast to other 8 countries, Korea has produced the smallest quota among these ten countries by merely producing 485. 1 bkWh and using 449. 5 bkWh, thus, making it a better consumer rather than a better producer. Similar to Korea, Germany has generated 526. 6 bkWh of electricity, which is less than its 582. 5 bkWh electricity consumption.
