According to a report from China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation on May 17, 2021, the U.
In its new issue of "Monthly Energy Review" report, EIA stated that the warmer months of last winter led to a decline in heating demand, which offset the increase in retail electricity consumption due to home office and distance education.
Since many people work from home and continue to work from home even after the restrictions are relaxed, electricity consumption in the residential sector in the United States last year increased by 2% compared to 2019.
However, EIA pointed out that the higher electricity sales were completely offset by the lower space heating demand last winter, which was warmer than usual last year and the average heating days (hdd) was reduced by 15%.
Compared with the first three months of 2019, residential natural gas consumption in January, February and March 2020 has fallen by 15%, oil consumption has fallen by 17%, and wood consumption has fallen by 15%.
EIA data shows that the total energy consumption of all industries in the United States last year was 93 petaflops, a decrease of 7% from 2019.
In terms of absolute value or percentage, this is the largest decline in the United States on record, mainly due to the confirmation and death toll caused by the new crown pneumonia pandemic last year in the United States.

US Residential Energy Use Fell In 2020 Despite Lockdown
US residential energy consumption fell by 4 percent year over year in 2020, even though more people stayed at home to work or attend school during the lockdowns last year, the EIA said on Monday.
Warmer winter months of 2020 led to lower demand for space heating, which offset increased electricity retail consumption because of work-from-home and remote schooling, the administration said in its Monthly Energy Review.
Electricity consumption in the residential sector increased by 2 percent last year compared to 2019, as many people worked from home and continued to work from home even after the restrictions were eased.
The higher electricity sales, however, were entirely offset by lower demand for space heating in the winter months of 2020, which were warmer than usual and had 15 percent fewer heating degree days (HDDs) on average, the EIA noted.
Compared to the first three months of 2019, residential consumption of natural gas fell by 15 percent, petroleum by 17 percent, and wood by 15 percent in January, February, and March 2020.
Total US energy consumption in all sectors to just 93 quadrillion BTUs, last year fell down by 7 percent from 2019, according to data from the EIA.
The decrease was the largest one on record—both in absolute terms and percentage terms, and can mostly be attributed to the toll that the pandemic took on the United States last year.
