The U.

Energy Information Administration (EIA) said U.

.
electricity sales fell last year, the largest decline since the 2009 recession.
U.
S.
electricity sales in 2017 are now the biggest decline since the 2009 recession
Electricity sales fell 2% year-on-year to 80 billion kWh, reflecting lower
electricity sales in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
The EIA added that the decrease in electricity use was mainly due to the reduced
use of air conditioning and electricity due to cooler weather in the summer.
The number of cooling degree days marked cooling-related energy demand decreased by 9% in 2017 compared to 2016, indicating milder weather and reduced
air conditioning demand.
Although fuels other than electricity such as natural gas, heating oil and propane can be used to generate electricity, electricity consumption also increases
in cold weather.
Cooling degree days, an indicator of energy demand related to heating, were 1%
lower in 2017 than in 2016.
In 2017, the residential sector bought the most electricity from the grid, accounting for just over 37%, the commercial sector bought just under 37% of electricity retail sales, and the industrial sector accounted for about 1/4
