The bar graph illustrates how much electricity South Korea uses monthly in the household sector. The pie chart outlines the annual electricity consumption by seasonal share for all sectors.
Overall, the months of July and August show the highest results for monthly electricity consumption. Similarly, the summer season shows the highest results in annual electricity usage, indicating an increase in electricity consumption during these months.
In the monthly electricity consumption data, the figures vary significantly throughout the year. January starts with ten billion kilowatts, but in February, March, and April, the consumption sharply declines to approximately 4 billion kilowatts. However, it suddenly rises to 9 billion kilowatts in June. After August, electricity consumption begins to decrease. We can observe that the results for spring and winter months plunged, while summer consumption increased.
According to the pie chart, the summer season accounts for the highest share of annual electricity consumption at 36.5%. In contrast, autumn has the lowest share at 14.5%, making it less than half that of summer. Winter, with a consumption of 29.75%, is nearly double that of spring. Therefore, we can conclude that summer consumes two to three times more electricity than the rest of the year, both annually and monthly.
