Dataset available for Latin-American and Caribbean Countries since 1970-2017 (Except Bahamas)
This indicator provides information about the consumption of total, primary and secondary energy in a country.
The primary energy consumption corresponds to production plus imports minus exports, plus changes in stocks and less distribution losses of all primary energy products. Information on the consumption of natural gas, wood and bagasse is presented. Meanwhile, secondary energy consumption refers to production plus imports minus exports plus changes in stocks less distribution losses of all secondary energy products (which are the result of the transformation of primary energy).
The total energy consumption, also known as final consumption, shows all the energy consumed for purposes other than conversion or energy production. This consumption includes primary and secondary products, but only those intended for final consumption. The energy for the mining and energy production that is not part of the transformation process is also included. It is measured in thousands of barrels of oil equivalent and retrieved from OLADE.
