In plain words
1,555 kWh per capita
What it is. Production of power plants and combined heat and power plants, less transmission, distribution and transformation losses and the plants' own use, per person.
Neither way is good in itself. Whether a change is welcome depends on why it happened, so read it against its own history and other countries.
Why it matters. A single figure says little on its own: its direction over time and its place among other countries say more.
