The given bar graph depicts the electricity generation and consumption in billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of ten leading nations in 2014.
Overall, China had the highest kilowatts in both usage and extraction, while Korea had the lowest. Surprisingly, all of the nations produced more than they consumed, but Germany consumed more energy than its total production.
In 2014, China generated maximal energy of 5.322 billion kWh, as well as utilized 5.398 billion kWh. Following China, the United States produced 4.099 billion kWh of energy and had a huge margin in consumption (roughly 300 billion kWh). Remarkably, Russia had nearly equal consumption and production, which averaged around 1000 billion kWh.
Moreover, India and Japan had somewhat similar electricity production and utilization, where the output averaged around 800 billion kWh, and utilization was roughly 700 billion kWh. Remarkably, countries such as Canada, France, Germany, and Brazil had somewhat similar production and consumption, averaging around 600 billion kWh. In addition, Korea had the lowest electricity turnover where it consumed 449.5 billion kWh and produced 485.1 billion kWh.
