Consumption & Expenditures (C&E) Tables
The four groups represent increasing level of detail:
- Summary Statistics: National and regional totals and intensities across all fuels and end uses
- by Fuel: Totals and averages for each major fuel: electricity, natural gas, LPG/propane, fuel oil, and kerosene
- by End Uses: Totals and averages for each major end use: space heating, water heating, air-conditioning, refrigerators, and other (other appliances, electronics, and lighting)
- by End Uses by Fuel: Totals and averages for each fuel by end use. For example: natural gas space heating
The expanded sample size in 2009 allows for even more detailed estimates. In each of the regional (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) tables find data for 16 states and groups of states.
