The pie charts compare the power usage by sector in the East of Australia in 2007 and 2010.
Overall, Residential and Commercial were the two most power-consuming sectors in both years. Furthermore, most sectors saw their use of electricity remaining stable or declining except for Other Metals.
In 2007, Residential and Commercial consumed more power than any other sector, holding a considerable combined share of over half of the total, and their figures stayed the same in 2010. The same trend was observed in Mining, which represented a tenth, and in Agriculture and Transport with a tiny percentage of 1% each.
By comparison, the proportions of power used for Manufacturing and Aluminium fell slightly by 2% to 4%, reaching 9% and 11% respectively. In contrast, in 2010, Other Metals was the only sector which recorded a surge in percentage terms from 12% to 18%, which made it the third most power-intensive industry.
