World electricity consumption is the total amount of electricity consumed by humanity per year. Electricity is generated in power stations since 1882. The invention of the steam turbine in 1883 to drive the electric generator started a strong increase of world electricity consumption.

Coal plant

The energy sources for electricity generation are usually classified as

Coal and lignite are the biggest energy source for electricity generation.

Electricity consumption is measured in TWh/a (Terawatt-hours per year). The table lists the top 37 electricity consuming countries, which use 19.000 TWh/a, i.e. 90% of the consumption of all more than 190 countries. The data are of 2012.[1][2] The last column contains the number of millions of inhabitants.
