### Overview  
  
This dataset shows the net electricity consumption in 230 countries from 1980 to 2019. This dataset is published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), [which calculates net electricity consumption](https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=Net%20electricity%20consumption) as “generation + imports - exports - transmission and distribution losses.”
  
  

Electricity consumption is a key indicator of the environmental impact and input costs of economic activity. The intensity of electricity consumption and the sources of energy are among the key indicators of sustainable energy, as defined by Sustainable Development Goal 7.  
  
### Methodology  
  
EIA collected and analyzed consumption data from multiple external sources. The estimates in this dataset are based on a time series analysis, and the performance of the model was evaluated with hold‐out validation.

### Additional Information  
  
Resource Watch also shows the [total energy consumption](https://resourcewatch.org/data/explore/67cf410f-4cdf-4437-aa09-187e5fa590ae) dataset by EIA.  
  
Resource Watch shows only a subset of the dataset. For access to the full dataset and additional information, click on the “Learn more” button.  
  
### Visualizing the Data  
  
Our team reformatted this dataset before displaying it on Resource Watch. See the documentation on how Resource Watch processed the data on [Github](https://github.com/resource-watch/nrt-scripts/tree/master/upload_eia_data).
