Total imports peaked in 2005, when they represented 30% of total consumption. A consistent decline occurred over the next 15 years, as oil production doubled and domestic use receded. This allowed the United States to be a net exporter of energy for the first time in 70 years. As of 2021, the US net exports 3.9% of energy production. [18]
English: Pie chart of United States primary energy consumption by sector in 2015. Primary energy means from a primary source, or in simpler terms, other than from electricity which is purchased. It includes distributed generation, for example electricity locally generated from wind and solar.
U.S. primary energy consumption by source and sector, 2018. Note: Energy Consumption for combined commercial and residential sectors is 39% of Total Energy Consumption when electrical system energy losses are included. [1] United States building energy codes are a subset of building codes that set minimum requirements for energy-efficient ...
The following table shows the yearly US per capita consumption by fuel source from 1999 to 2022. The following table used the first column from the Demographics of the United States#Vital statistics table for population, and generation from Electric Power Annual. Technically this means that "consumption" includes transmission losses, etc ...
English: Historical annual US energy consumption by source between 1776 and 2024. Source: History and Prospects and U.S. Department of Agriculture Circular No. 641, Fuel Wood Used in the United States 1630–1930 Note: Data use captured energy approach to account for wind, hydro, solar, and geothermal.
By 2025, Asia is projected to account for half of the world’s electricity consumption, with one-third of global electricity to be consumed in China. [1] This list of countries by electric energy consumption is mostly based on the Energy Information Administration. [2]
By 2028, data centers' annual energy use could reach between 74 and 132 gigawatts, or 6.7% to 12% of total U.S. electricity consumption, according to the Berkeley Lab report.
Energy in this sector has the same basic end uses as the residential sector, in slightly different proportions. Space conditioning is again the single biggest consumption area, but it represents only about 30% of the energy use of commercial buildings. Lighting, at 25%, plays a much larger role than it does in the residential sector. [12]
