The chart illustrates electricity consumption and production in the top ten highest countries in 2014. It is clear from the chart that all countries, with the exception of Germany, produce marginally more than they consume. The two top countries, the United States and particularly China, were strong outliers while the remaining countries had similar numbers and lagged far behind in both production and consumption.
China produced and consumed the most, at 5, 398 billion and 5, 322 kWh, respectively. The next nearest country in terms of both statistics was the US, where residents consumed 3, 866 kilowats an hour and produced slightly more at 4, 099.
Russian lead the rest of the nations with 1, 057 (in production) and 1, 038 kWh (consumption) followed by Japan (936. 2 for production and 856. 7 kWh for consumption). India and Canada ranked 5th and 6th with India producing 871 kWh and consuming 698. 8 while Canada was slightly lower in both (618. 9 and 499. 9 kWh). In the 7th and 8th spots were France (producing 561. 2 kWh and consuming 462. 9) and Brazil, which recorded numbers at 530. 7 and 455. 8 for production and consumption, respectively. In the final two positions were Germany and the Republic of Korea with Germany having higher production that Korea (526. 6 to 485. 1 kWh) as well as consumption (582. 5 kWh compared with 449. 5).
