The bar chart below shows the top ten countries for the production and consumption of electricity in 2014. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The given bar chart illustrates 10 nations with the greatest number of electricity produced and consumed in the year 2012.

Overall

, it is obvious that China was the leading country in both categories

while

the Korean Republic was the opposite case.

In addition

, Germany was the only place where the demand for electrical power exceeded the supply. In terms of the top 3 areas, we can see that China took the lead in both creation and usage, which was 5398 and 5322

billion

kWh

, respectively.

This

was followed by the United States with around 150

billion

kWh

less than the first place in the two sections.

Next,

Russia was in the third position but it was only roughly one-fifth of China. Specifically, it manufactured 1057

billion

kWh

and used 1038

billion

kWh

. Turning to other regions in the top 10, Japan, India, Canada, France and Brazil all ranged from 500 to 1000

billion

kWh

in generation and from 400 to 900

billion

kWh

in consumption. It is

also

noticeable that there was a difference of approximately 100

billion

kWh

between the 2 categories in all these places.

Furthermore

, Germany was an exception in the list as its electric power utilization surpassed the corresponding production.

Last

but not least, the Korean Republic was the least active in both consuming and manufacturing, which was 485.1

billion

kWh

and 449.5

billion

kWh

in turn.
