The pie charts provide a breakdown by sector of electricity consumption in Eastern Australia in 2007 and 2010. Overall, there was little difference in terms of electricity usage between the two years in which Residential and Commercial segments still dominated, whereas Other Metals witnessed the most radical increase. During the 4-year-period, five out of eight sectors maintained their proportions of power consumed with Residential at the top with nearly 30%, followed by Commercial (23%) at second position. In the same group, while Mining held a considerable share of nearly a tenth, both Agriculture and Transport only accounted for merely 1% each, lower than any other sectors. By comparison, Other Metals was the only sector experiencing a growth with its figure jumping by 6 percentage points to 18%, surpassing the remaining two segments to rank third. In contrast, the percentages of such energy supplied for Aluminium and Manufacturing dropped slightly from 13% each to 11% and 9% respectively, which were relavetively comparable to that of Mining.
