The pie charts compare the proportion of electricity that different sectors in Eastern Australia

consumed in 2007 and 2010.

Obviously, residential and commercial consumed significantly higher amounts of electricity than
others. The percentage of electricity consumption of most sectors remained from 2007 to 2010,
except for aluminum, manufacturing and other metals.
In 2007, residential consumed the largest amount of electricity, accounting for 28%, followed by
commercial with 23%. The lowest percentage of electricity consumption is for agriculture and
transportation, only 1% each. Aluminum and manufacturing both account for 13% of total
electricity consumption, 4% higher than aluminum and only 1% higher than other metals.
In 2010, the total electricity consumption of residential and commercial still accounted for 51%,
and that of agriculture and transport was 2%, which was still the lowest one. After a slight
decrease, aluminum accounted for 11% of total electricity consumption, while manufacturing
accounted for 9%, equal to the mining sector. In contrast, the proportion of electricity consumed
by other metals sector sharply increased from 12% to 18%, was comparable to that of both
manufacturing and mining combined.
