Mapped: Which Nations Generate a Surplus of Energy Relative to Their Consumption?
This map illustrates which nations generated a surplus of energy compared to their consumption in 2024, and conversely, which were more dependent on foreign energy sources. The information for this visual representation is sourced from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Energy discrepancies are quantified in quadrillion British thermal units (BTUs), determined by subtracting total energy consumption from total energy production.
Positive figures denote an excess, whereas negative figures signify a shortfall. Russia Boasts the Globe's Most Substantial Energy Surplus Russia generated 26.0 quadrillion BTUs more energy than it utilized in 2024, representing the most considerable surplus among all countries.
The nation persists as one of the preeminent global producers of oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy, yielding considerably more energy than its internal economy demands.
