Energy imports, net (% of energy use) in High income was 20.52 as of 2015. Its highest value over the past 55 years was 29.54 in 1970, while its lowest value was 4.97 in 2014.

Definition: Net energy imports are estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.
