Energy Consumption in Nebraska Businesses and Government
The charts and statistics on this page show economic indicators of commercial energy consumption in Nebraska. You can link to the following graphs on this page:
Gross Product in the Nebraska Commercial Sector per Unit of Energy Input
Because Nebraska commerce is growing faster than energy consumption in the commercial sector, these data show this sector of the state economy becoming less energy intensive over time. Read more about energy statistics.
Sources of data: Commercial sales are calculated by adding together sales data by year from the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) published by the U.S. Census Bureau. Energy consumption by state is taken from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Information Administration (EIA) State Energy Consumption, Price, and Expenditure Estimates (SEDS database). Note that 2005 is the latest year for which state-by-state data are available from EIA.
