In 2023, the residential sector consumed an estimated 1450 terawatt-hours of electricity in the United States, the largest consuming sector in the country. It was closely followed by the commercial sector. In contrast, the transportation sector was the least power demanding sector, with some 6.9 terawatt-hours consumed.

Industrial activities are the greatest energy end-user sector in the United States, reaching a consumption of some 31 quadrillion British thermal units in 2024, followed by the transportation sector. The U.S. is the second-largest energy consumer in the world, after China. Energy source in the United States Consumption of fossil fuels still accounts for the majority of U.S. primary energy consumption. The transportation and industrial sectors are the sectors with the largest fossil fuel consumption in the country, the former relying on oil-based motor fuels. Electricity generation in the United States Although around 60 percent of the electricity generated in the U.S. is derived from natural gas and coal, the use of renewable sources is becoming more common in electricity production, with the largest increase in wind and solar power. These two clean energy resources are projected to generate as much power as natural gas by 2030.

Petroleum is the primary source of energy in the United States, with a consumption of 35.35 quadrillion British thermal units in 2024. Closely following, the U.S. had 34.2 quadrillion British thermal units of energy derived from natural gas. Energy consumption by sector in the United States Petroleum is predominantly utilized as a fuel in the transportation sector, which is also the second-largest consumer of energy in the U.S. with almost 30 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2024. This figure is topped only by the energy-guzzling industrial sector, a major consumer of fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas. Renewable energy in the United States Despite the prevalence of fossil fuels in the U.S. energy mix, the use of renewable energy consumption has grown immensely in the last decades to approximately 11 exajoules in 2023. Most of the renewable energy produced in the U.S. is derived from biomass, hydro and wind sources. In 2024, renewable electricity accounted for approximately 24 percent of the nation’s total electricity generation.

The yearly data is the sum of the monthly data for all indicators.Energy consumption data by different sector are developed from a group of energy-related surveys, typically called "supply surveys," conducted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Supply surveys are directed to suppliers and marketers of specific energy sources. They measure the quantities of specific energy sources produced, or the quantities supplied to the market, or both. The data obtained from EIA's supply surveys are integrated to yield the summary consumption statistics.

The domain of interest is Energy; however, the focus is to observe the trends between the different sources used for electricity generation among Canada and its provinces from 2005 to 2016, and to compare the trends for electricity generation to electricity consumption in Canada from 2005 to 2015. The main problem that will be investigated is how much of a particular source is used for electricity generation in Canada over these eleven years and what is the least and most used source of electricity generation over Canada. It will also be observed whether the proportion of electricity generated by each source in Canada during 2016, is consistent with the proportion of electricity generated by each source in every province. Additionally electricity consumption for the provinces will be studied to determine which province consumes the most and least amounts of electricity in Canada. The significance of this problem is to understand which sources are highly used to generate electric power in the provinces and in Canada. If a source is being used the most in Canada and in the provinces, it will lead us to find possible ways to generate electricity from the least used sources, so the country and its provinces do not depend on one source for electric power. It will also be observed if the electricity generation by each province has increased, decreased or remain constant from 2005-2016. From this data we can also infer which province generates the most and least amount of electric power and determine which abundant resources are available to each province for its electricity generation. Moreover, by comparing the trends for electricity consumption and electricity generation it will be observed if any province consumes more electricity than it generates. If so we can find ways to provide that province with more electrcity by importing it from other provinces.

Energy Information Administration. State Energy Data System: Electricity Consumption, Prices, and Expenditures | Indicator: Electricity price in the commercial sector., 1970 - 2014. Data-Planet™ Statistical Datasets by Conquest Systems, Inc. Dataset-ID: 004-012-012 Dataset: Reports estimates of electricity consumption, prices, and expenditures for the United States as a whole and for individual states and Washington, DC, as available. The State Energy Data System (SEDS) is maintained and operated by the United States Energy Information Administration (EIA). The goal in maintaining SEDS is to create historical time series of energy production, consumption, prices, and expenditures by state that are defined as consistently as possible over time and across sectors. SEDS is used primarily to provide (1) state energy production, consumption, price, and expenditure estimates to Members of Congress, federal and state agencies, and the general public; and (2) the historical time series necessary to develop EIA’s energy models. Efforts are made to ensure that the sums of the state estimates equal the national totals as closely as possible for each energy type and end-use sector as published in other EIA publications. SEDS state energy consumption estimates are generally comparable to the statistics in EIA's Annual Energy Review and Monthly Energy Review consumption tables. Although SEDS incorporates the most consistent series and procedures possible, users of this report should recognize the limitations of the data that are due to changing and inadequate data sources.
