Notes

The Gulf region emerged as a frontrunner, surpassing both Europe and the United States and leading in per capita energy consumption since the 1980s. The United Arab Emirates leads with a per capita energy usage of 148,000 kWh, alongside its robust economic development and increasing energy demands. Similarly, Saudi Arabia follows closely with 87,000 kWh per capita, marking a substantial energy footprint in the region. These figures far exceed the per capita energy usage in the United States at 78,000 kWh and Europe at 38,000 kWh, reflecting the Gulf's pivotal role in global energy dynamics. This upward trajectory reflects the growing demand for energy resources in Gulf countries, showcasing economic development, urbanization, and lifestyle changes.
