US industrial energy consumption statistics by state: largest totals
The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s State Energy Data System Table C7 reports 2024 industrial-sector energy consumption estimates in trillion British thermal units (Btu). Among the selected state values, Texas recorded 8,113.5 trillion Btu, Louisiana 2,997.2 trillion Btu, California 1,412.9 trillion Btu, and Illinois 1,067.4 trillion Btu. Each is a statewide industrial-sector total for the same year and in the same unit. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
| State | Industrial energy consumption, 2024 (trillion Btu) |
|---|---|
| Texas | 8,113.5 |
| Louisiana | 2,997.2 |
| California | 1,412.9 |
| Illinois | 1,067.4 |
Within this selected group, Texas has the largest total, followed by Louisiana, California, and Illinois. These values compare state-level quantities. They are not per-person or per-facility measures and do not describe energy per unit of industrial production. The totals alone do not explain differences among states or identify the activities behind each result. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
Table C7 presents several distinct measures alongside total consumption, including fuel categories, end-use energy, electricity sales, and electrical-system losses. A fuel quantity or accounting measure is not interchangeable with the industrial-sector total. Keeping the year, geography, unit, and column definition together makes the comparisons clear without implying that all figures measure the same thing. The table covers an industrial-sector scope that includes industrial combined-heat-and-power plants and industrial electricity-only plants. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
US industrial energy consumption statistics across the Midwest
The 2024 industrial-sector totals shown for these Midwestern states are Indiana at 1,177.4 trillion Btu, Iowa at 802.7 trillion Btu, Michigan at 622.4 trillion Btu, and Wisconsin at 511.9 trillion Btu. Each is a state estimate in the same unit and reporting year. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
| State | Industrial energy consumption, 2024 (trillion Btu) |
|---|---|
| Indiana | 1,177.4 |
| Iowa | 802.7 |
| Michigan | 622.4 |
| Wisconsin | 511.9 |
Indiana has the largest total in this group, while Wisconsin has the smallest. Iowa and Michigan fall between them in the listed figures. This ordering describes only these state totals; it is not a regional aggregate or a complete ranking of every Midwestern state. No combined Midwest value is calculated here. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
These totals do not indicate energy use per resident, industrial facility, or unit of output. A state total gives the quantity reported for the full industrial-sector scope in that state, while an intensity measure would require a different denominator. The values also do not identify which industrial activities account for the totals, so they support comparisons of scale only. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
US industrial energy consumption statistics across the South
Among the selected Southern states, Alabama’s 2024 industrial-sector total was 773.4 trillion Btu and Georgia’s was 722.7 trillion Btu. North Carolina recorded 496.9 trillion Btu, and Florida recorded 440.6 trillion Btu. These are state totals for the industrial sector, reported for the same year and in trillion Btu. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
| State | Industrial energy consumption, 2024 (trillion Btu) |
|---|---|
| Alabama | 773.4 |
| Georgia | 722.7 |
| North Carolina | 496.9 |
| Florida | 440.6 |
Alabama and Georgia have the larger totals in this selected set, followed by North Carolina and Florida. The comparison covers only these states. It does not provide a complete Southern ranking or a regional total, and the figures do not show a change over time. Each entry remains a state-level measure rather than a measure of industrial energy intensity or economic share. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
Because these entries share a year, sector, and unit, they can be read side by side as reported totals. Their differences alone do not establish why one state’s value is higher or lower. Nor do they describe how much energy an individual process consumes. Those interpretations would require additional measures beyond the state totals reported in Table C7.

US industrial energy consumption: US industrial energy use by fuel source
For the United States, Table C7 reports industrial natural gas consumption of 10,900.2 trillion Btu in 2024. The natural gas definition includes supplemental gaseous fuels commingled with natural gas, as specified by the table’s footnote. The national petroleum group total was 8,748.4 trillion Btu, biomass total was 1,484.6 trillion Btu, and coal consumption was 885.8 trillion Btu. Petroleum and biomass are group totals across their component columns. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
| U.S. industrial energy category | 2024 consumption (trillion Btu) |
|---|---|
| Natural gas | 10,900.2 |
| Petroleum, total | 8,748.4 |
| Biomass, total | 1,484.6 |
| Coal | 885.8 |
Among these reported category values, natural gas is the largest and the petroleum group total is next. That order reflects the printed estimates and their table definitions; it does not explain their levels or establish what caused them. The categories differ in structure: natural gas has the stated commingled-fuels scope, while petroleum and biomass are totals across component columns. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
The national row also lists industrial electricity sales to ultimate customers at 3,530.0 trillion Btu. EIA defines the electricity column as sales to ultimate customers. This is the scope of the published measure, so it should not be described as electricity generated or as an unqualified measure of electricity consumed at industrial sites. The electricity value is a distinct reported category in the table. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
The fuel values and electricity-sales figure should be read with their individual column labels rather than summed to recreate another measure. EIA notes that totals may differ from component sums because values are independently rounded. The table also distinguishes the natural-gas scope and electricity-sales definition. Retaining those details avoids treating categories with different definitions as identical. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
US industrial energy consumption: State industrial electricity use and energy losses
The United States industrial end-use energy estimate was 26,351.1 trillion Btu in 2024. The accompanying footnote says this column is adjusted for double-counted supplemental gaseous fuels and includes a small amount of industrial wind energy. Separately, the national industrial electrical-system energy losses figure was 5,005.5 trillion Btu. Both figures apply to the industrial-sector table, but they describe different measures. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
For Texas, the table reports natural gas consumption of 2,617.2 trillion Btu and petroleum consumption of 4,050.5 trillion Btu. The petroleum figure is the total across the petroleum component columns. These are fuel entries for the state, not a complete breakdown of Texas industrial energy use and not substitutes for the state total. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
The national electricity-sales measure, end-use estimate, and electrical-system losses figure have different column definitions. The electricity value represents sales to ultimate customers. End use includes the footnote adjustments described above. Electrical-system losses are reported separately. A total, end-use value, fuel quantity, electricity-sales value, and losses value therefore need to remain attached to their respective labels when interpreted. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
The selected figures do not form a complete state-by-state electricity comparison. They include national electricity sales to ultimate customers, national end-use energy and electrical-system losses, and Texas fuel quantities. Read each with its geography, 2024 period, unit, and column definition. These entries do not establish causes, efficiency, or changes over time. EIA also notes that totals may differ from component sums because values are independently rounded. Source: EIA, Table C7, 2024 industrial-sector estimates
