Energy use (kg of oil equivalent) per $1,000 GDP (constant 2005 PPP)

The latest value for Energy use (kg of oil equivalent) per $1,000 GDP (constant 2005 PPP) in Benin was 284.03 as of 2009. Over the past 29 years, the value for this indicator has fluctuated between 330.32 in 1980 and 232.84 in 2000.

Definition: Energy use per PPP GDP is the kilogram of oil equivalent of energy use per constant PPP GDP. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport. PPP GDP is gross domestic product converted to 2005 constant international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as a U.S. dollar has in the United States.
