Source: Statizoid (derived). Measured in % change on previous year.
Analysis
Antarctica recorded -10.92 % change on previous year for primary energy use, annual growth rate in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 202.7% on the previous year.
Over the whole period, primary energy use, annual growth rate in Antarctica peaked at 31.78 % change on previous year in 2009 and was at its lowest, -95.37 % change on previous year, in 2008.
That places Antarctica 211th out of 217 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Primary energy use. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Primary energy use Energy Institute - Statistical Review of World Energy (2026); Smil (2017); U.S. Energy Information Administration (2026) – with major processing by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
