Electricity consumption in Russia by year
1 195,0 billion kWh, 2025 −11,7 to 2024
How much electricity is consumed in the country per year: by industry, transport, agriculture, households, plus network losses. Indicator from the electricity balance – the same document that aggregates production and consumption.
Consumption stays within a narrow corridor and reacts to weather as much as to the economy: a cold winter adds a noticeable volume to the year.
The 2020 drop reflects production shutdowns in spring, not a decrease in energy intensity.
The figure includes transmission losses: they account for about one‑tenth of the total volume.
