In 2023, Singapore had the highest per capita energy consumption in the Asia-Pacific region, with more than ******* kilowatt-hours per person, while the average person in South Korea consumed nearly ****** kilowatt-hours of primary energy. In contrast, Bangladesh had the lowest per capita energy consumption in the region that year, with just over ***** kilowatt-hours per person.
According to the source, energy consumption here refers to primary energy consumption adjusted for efficiency losses in fossil fuels by treating non-fossil sources, like wind and solar, as equally inefficient as coal or gas. This adjustment is made by dividing energy from non-fossil sources by a standard thermal efficiency factor, usually around 0.4.
