The state with the lowest per capita energy use is Rhode Island, at 161 million BTU per year, and the highest is Louisiana, at 908 million BTU per year. Energy use and prices often have an inverse relationship; Hawaii uses some of the least energy per capita but pays the highest price on average, while Louisiana pays the least on average. [75]

Electricity consumption data in this section is based upon data mined from US DOE Energy Information Administration/Electric Power Annual 2022 files [30] In 2022 the total US consumption of electricity was 4,271.88 terawatt-hours (TWh). Consumption was up from 2021, by 122.87 TWh or +2.96%. This is broken down as:
This is a list of U.S. states by total electricity generation, percent of generation that is renewable, total renewable generation, percent of total domestic renewable generation, [1] and carbon intensity in 2022.
The U.S. Department of Energy categorizes national energy use in four broad sectors: transportation, residential, commercial, and industrial. [1] Energy usage in transportation and residential sectors (about half of U.S. energy consumption) is largely controlled by individual domestic consumers.
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.
Projections from NEMS are provided at the national level; however, regional results are generally available consistent with the modules' regional definitions. For example, energy consumption by fuel and sector is reported for the nine Census Divisions, the geographic definition used by the four end-use energy demand modules. [5]
Globally, the amount of energy used per household may vary significantly, depending on factors such as the standard of living of the country, the climate, the age of the occupant of the home, and type of residence. Households in different parts of the world will have differing levels of consumption, based on latitude and technology.
