World Bank data on electric power consumption measured in kilowatt-hours. The metric represents net production from power and combined heat and power plants, accounting for transmission losses and plant own use. It is compiled by the World Bank's WDI Database Archives.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in net electric power consumption per country or region over time.
- Correlate power consumption figures with other development indicators like GDP or population.
- Benchmark national energy efficiency by comparing consumption metrics across countries.
Strengths
- Sourced from the authoritative World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI) database.
- Provides a standardized metric for cross-country comparison.
Limitations
- Specific row count, time range, and geographic coverage are unknown.
- The dataset lacks visible column-level detail for granular feature engineering.
