At the same time - and in contrast to the decade-long downward trend of industrial consumption - the commercial sector’s energy needs have been expanding almost continuously since 2000. And, although the decline became less pronounced in the second half of 2020, the sector still experienced drops of 5-6% in its overall energy usage in Q3 and Q4. Our previous report highlighted an 11% decrease in commercial power consumption in the second quarter. Notably, we observe a similar pattern regarding commercial energy usage. Specifically, in 2020, the industrial sector used roughly 920 million megawatt-hours (MWH), compared to 917 million MWH in 2009 at the deep end of the recession. In fact, industrial power usage in 2020 was only a hair away from repeating the sector’s 20-year low. And, while residential energy usage increased by roughly 2%, commercial and industrial consumption declined by 6% and 8%, respectively. dropped 4% in 2020 compared to the previous year. during the first lockdownsĢ020 Industrial Energy Usage Dips 8%, Nearing Great Recession Levels The following analysis updates and expands upon a previous CommercialCafe study that focused on electricity demand in the U.S. Gas and renewables doubled their share of the U.S.Nevada household energy usage jumped 23% - the highest 10-year increase in the residential sector.
