The bar chart illustrates the top ten countries for the production and consumption of electricity in 2014, presented in billions of kilowatt-hours.
Overall, Germany showed a contrasting value, with electricity consumption being higher than production compared to the other nine countries, where production was higher than consumption.
It is clearly seen from the figure that China ranked first in both producing and consuming, with electricity being generated at about 5,398 billion kilowatt-hours while being used at around 5,322 billion, followed by the United States in second place, with no significant difference from China. Surprisingly, Russia ranked third, with 4,099 billion in production and 3,866 billion in consumption, showing a considerable difference from the United States. Furthermore, Japan was recorded in fourth place, followed by India, Canada, France, and Brazil.
The least amount of electricity production and consumption was illustrated by South Korea, where electricity was produced at around 485 billion and used at about 450 billion kilowatt-hours.
In summary, from third place to tenth place, similar values were presented, with production between 618.9 and 485.1 and consumption between 499.9 and 449.5, but the first and second rankings reached higher than 3,500 billion kilowatt-hours.
