The given chart displays 10 leading energy producers as well as consumers in 2014. The highest position in this comparison, both for energy production and consumption, was assigned to China. The lowest rank was given to the Republic of Korea with the number around 10 times lower than China.
China completely outranked the others with the amount 5 times higher in both compared categories. However, it does not include the USA which produced and consumed slightly about 10% billions kWh less, therefore, standing on the second place. Then, on the 3rd rank, with an amount of barely over a thousand of billions of kWh, is Russia. It is quite noticeable that the level of produced energy almost equals its consumption in this country.
Other leaders produced as well as consumed over five hundred up to a thousand of billions of kWh. What is worth considering is that there was one country that year where the consumption exceeded the production, and that was Germany.
