The two pie charts illustrate electricity consumption across various sectors in Eastern Australia in 2007 and 2010. Overall, the residential sector consistently accounted for the largest share at 28%, while agriculture and transport remained the smallest users at just 1% each.
Between the two years, the most notable change was in the “other metals” category, which rose significantly from 12% to 18%. In contrast, manufacturing and aluminium both declined, falling from 13% to 9% and from 13% to 11% respectively. Meanwhile, commercial and mining sectors showed no variation, maintaining 23% and 9% of total consumption.
In summary, while several sectors experienced reductions, the growth in other metals offset these declines, leaving residential consumption as the dominant and stable category throughout the period.
