South Africa - Energy use

Energy use (kg of oil equivalent) per $1,000 GDP (constant 2011 PPP)

The latest value for Energy use (kg of oil equivalent) per $1,000 GDP (constant 2011 PPP) in South Africa was 191.98 as of 2014. Over the past 24 years, the value for this indicator has fluctuated between 239.48 in 1995 and 185.04 in 2013.

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 2011 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.
