In the USA we consumed about 3.479 trillion [million million] kWh of electricity in 2003. If you estimate 300 million people, that would mean we each used over 10,000 kWh that year. This assumes that we each consumed our equal share of all electricity produced, even if some of it was used to make the can your soda is in, or the tires on your car. The quantity used goes up if you allow that we import more products than we export, which gives us a "hard" electricity import in power used to make imported sneakers, etc. On the other hand, China, with 1 billion people, used a bit more than a third of the amount we did in 2003, giving them a per capita kWh consumption of 1,300 kWh. Just divide the total used by 365.
The average use per person over a long period is given as 313 watts worldwide, 1363 watts in the USA and 688 watts in Europe. Canada is the highest at 1795 watts and the lowest is Afghanistan, Chad and Sierra Leone with 1 watt each per person.

So the worldwide average of 313 watts gives a daily consumption of 7½ units, varying from 0.024 unit in Afghanistan to 43 units in Canada.
