2016 was another year of relatively weak growth for global energy consumption. That’s the primary takeaway from BP’s annual Statistical Review of World Energy, which treat as the most-quoted global study of energy consumption across the world. While worldwide energy consumption grew 1% last year (on par with 0.9% in 2015 and 1% in 2014 — and far off the ten-year average of 1.8%), consumption in Egypt rocketed up 4.7% last year against a ten-year average of 3.4% for Omm El Donia. In total, we accounted for 0.7% of the world’s energy consumption.
