According to Internet Statistics, at present, India ranks first, with about 99 million people still without electricity, Nigeria in Africa ranks second, with about 87 million, and Congo ranks third, More than 66 million people have no electricity.
According to the population statistics, the ranking by the end of 2017 is as follows:
India (9900): Nigeria (87 million), democratic Congo (66 million), Pakistan (58 million), Ethiopia (58 million), Tanzania (38 million), Uganda (33 million), Mozambique (22 million), Bangladesh (20 million), Madagascar (19 million), Kenya (17 million), Sudan (17 million), Angola (17 million) Niger (17 million), Malawi (16 million), Myanmar (16 million), North Korea (14 million), Burkina Faso (14 million), Chad (13 million) and Mali (11 million). The population without electricity in other countries is about 181 million.
Globally, many countries are short of electricity or have abnormal power supply and frequent power cuts. The main reasons are insufficient supply of power plants, weak power transmission facilities, insufficient and aging power distribution transformers, etc. The power shortage countries are mainly concentrated in developing countries and underdeveloped regions, especially some countries in Africa and Asia. In addition to Egypt and South Africa, other countries and regions in Africa, even some cities in Africa, are still short of electricity. As for rural areas and some tribes in Africa, the lack of electricity is even more serious. Even if there is electricity, it is extremely tense. Like Tanzania, it's definitely serious. With a population of 50 million, two-thirds live in rural and remote areas. It is said that only one tenth of households can use electricity. As for Chad, Congo, South Sudan and other countries, electricity has become a luxury for the people of these countries, which is unimaginable in China. The power shortage is particularly serious, so there is no need to talk about the power failure. In Chad's remote provinces, only the local chief's office can ensure normal power supply. The electricity consumption in southern Sultan is only 4.5%, while others in Burundi, Chad and Liberia are less than 10%.
Globally, no country has no complete access to electricity. But there are many countries where many families do not have access to electricity. To paraphrase a Chinese saying: with electricity, it is really convenient, and the use of electricity is endless.
Electricity is a luxury in some African countries and rural Myanmar in Asia, but we can use it adequately. We still have to be soberly aware that there are many people in the world who still live in villages without electricity.
There is no country without electricity, but there is one country where more than 93% of the population does not have access to electricity, and the per capita annual power consumption is only 44 degrees, that is the youngest country - South Sudan. According to the world bank's data, the electricity rate in southern Sultan in 2019 was only 6.7%, and the annual electricity consumption per person was only 44 degrees (the electricity rate was below 30%): Chad, Burundi, Malawi, Central Africa, Burkina Faso, Niger, Congo (gold), Sierra Leone, Madagascar, Liberia and Mozambique, all poor countries in Africa. Sub Saharan Africa as a whole has only 47% of electricity.
South Sudan has a population of 11.2 million, that is, more than 10 million people have no access to electricity and can only chop firewood for cooking. The per capita power consumption is only 44 degrees. What is this power enough to do. Therefore, South Sudan is basically in a society without electricity and is the most primitive and backward country. South Sudan is the youngest country. It only separated from Sudan in 2011 and has not been updated on many maps. After independence, the civil war began again, and the ceasefire did not stop until 2020, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of displacement. Most of the population lived on food assisted by the world food programme. Southern Sultan is extremely poor. In 2020, its per capita GDP was less than 300 dollars, and the world ranked second, only higher than Burundi. But the world's poorest Burundi has a 11.1% rate of electricity, which is higher than that of South Sultan. When South Sudan first became independent, only 1% of the population could be connected to the power grid, and the rest could only burn firewood. Households that can be connected to the power grid can only enjoy very limited power due to aging equipment and improper maintenance.
