Primary Energy Production

45 years, 1980–2024 · 204 countries · 2 measures

This is how much primary energy a country produces in a year — coal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewable power — with how much it consumes beside it. Together the two show whether a country makes more energy than it uses or depends on imports.

This site holds every year from 1980 to 2024, read from EIA’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision

The headline is stored to 21 decimals, as published.

Rounded by this site

Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.

Changed by this site

Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.

From the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s International Energy Statistics, read from its public bulk download. Both totals are EIA’s own; the share of its energy a country produces for itself is not calculated here, and the zeros EIA uses for missing readings are left out.

07Questions

Primary Energy Production: questions and answers

What is the Primary Energy Production?

This is how much primary energy a country produces in a year — coal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewable power — with how much it consumes beside it. Together the two show whether a country makes more energy than it uses or depends on imports.

Which years of the Primary Energy Production can I download?

All 45, from 1980 to 2024, each as a CSV file, or every year together in one CSV.

Does EIA rank countries on it?

No, and this site does not order it either. The files hold values only.

Can I use it commercially?

Yes, under Public domain, with credit to EIA. The licence text is linked on this page.
