The bar chart below shows the top ten countries for the production and consumption of electricity in 2014.

The bar chart shows how much

electricity

in terms of

production

and consumption allocate to ten

countries

in the year 2014.

Overall

, China accounts for the biggest amount of

electricity

, followed by the United States in both

sections

of

production

and consumption in billion

kWh

.

However

, these figures for the remaining

countries

illustrate a significant

difference

compared to the two

countries

that have just been mentioned. The

figure

for the intaking and

production

of

electricity

in China was almost 5300 billion

kWh

and

also

this

country ranked first in both

sections

.

In contrast

, the

figure

for both

sections

in the Republic of Korea was approximately 450 billion

kWh

and it had the

last

rank.

Moreover

, there is a wide disparity between the

figure

for

production

and usage of

electricity

in the United States with almost 130

Kwh

, the

figure

for the former was about 4100. Russia ranked third with the minimum

difference

between consumption and

production

of

electricity

by a margin of 19

Kwh

,

whereas

the maximum

difference

between the two

sections

allocated to India with 170

kWh

while

the

production

was 871

kWh

. The remaining

countries

like Japan, Brazil, Canada, France, and Germany experienced a considerable

difference

between the

production

and intaking of

electricity

but not as much importance as others.
