The two pie charts illustrate the proportions of electricity consumption across various sectors in Eastern Australia in 2007 and 2010.
Overall, the residential sector was the largest consumer of electricity in both years, while transport and agriculture were the smallest contributors. Commercial and residential usage remained stable over the perios, as did minin, transport, and agriculture, whereas other metals incureased noticeably, and both manufacturing and aluminium had gradual declines.
In 2007, the residential sector was the dominant consumer, accounting for 28% of total electricity usage, while the commercial sector followed at 23%. Manufacturing and aluminium were identical at 13%, whereas other metals, at 12%, exceeded mining, which stood at 9%, meaning that the former was approximately 1.3 times as high as the latter. By comparison, transport and agriculture were equal at just 1%, and thus represented the smallest shares.
In 2010, other metals rose markedly from 12% to 18%, whereas manufacturing and aluminium fell to 9% and 11% respectively, indicating noticeable reductions. Furthermore, although aluminium remained higher than manufacturing by 2%, both figures were lower than in 2007. Meanwhile, residential and commercial sectors stayed stable at 28% and 23% respectively, while mining remained unchanged at 9%, and transport and agriculture continued to account for only 1% each.
