This interactive map, chart, and table shows the average annual electricity consumption per capita starting from 1985.
It provides a graphical representation of the individual energy use in each country and can help provide a projection towards the future.
Teaching Tips
Positives
Data can be viewed as a map, table or chart. Pressing the play button shows how the data changes from 1985-2020.
Additional Prerequisites
Educator would need time to get familiar with this interactive media and decide on how to implement it with the learners.
Differentiation
There are other related interactive maps for measuring similar parameters.
Can be used to create awareness about one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Scientist Notes
A combination of Ember with BP datasets is accurate given the period of estimation of electricity consumption per capita. The resource is suitable for teaching.
