Judging the growth of a nation based on per capita power consumption is not correct without knowing how effectively this power is consumed. If the power is consumed on wasteful activities like lighting the buildings always, running the fans/air conditioners/entertainment equipment, etc without need, etc, though it shows high per capita power consumption, it will not contribute to improving the life of the people.
This will also add to ever increasing pollution, depletion of valuable energy resources. Countries should not compare with others while making road map for installing power generation plants. Instead, it should be ensured that the wastage in the form of unnecessary usage, transmission and distribution losses, etc are minimized.
We have to remember the saying, "the power saved is power generated" and by this we can also reduce dependence on import of coal/hydrocarbons, etc.
