Geothermal energy consumption reached a record high in 2023. The contribution of coal to total U.S. energy consumption has declined from about 37% in 1950 to 9% in 2023, largely because the U.S. electric power sector has increased use of other energy sources and reduced coal consumption.
What is the United States' share of world energy consumption? How much energy does a person use in a year? How much energy is consumed in the world by each end-use sector? How much U.S. energy consumption comes from renewable sources?
This publication includes total energy production, consumption, stocks, and trade; energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity, nuclear energy, renewable energy, and carbon dioxide emissions; and data unit conversions values. Each month, most MER tables and figures present data for a new month.
Our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023) explores long-term energy trends in the United States. Since last year’s AEO, much has changed, most notably the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Public Law 117-169, which altered the policy landscape we use to develop our projections.
Consumption of all forms of energy increases in the United States between 0% and 15% from 2022 to 2050 in our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023). Our projection of growth in U.S. energy consumption is the result of the effects of economic growth, population growth, and increased travel offsetting continued energy efficiency improvements.
Total U.S. electricity consumption in 2022 was about 4.07 trillion kWh, the highest amount recorded and 14 times greater than electricity use in 1950. Total annual U.S. electricity consumption increased in all but 11 years between 1950 and 2022, and 8 of the years with year-over-year decreases occurred after 2007.
In the AEO2011, the total fossil fuel share of energy consumption decreases from 2009 levels, as renewable energy and nuclear electric power experience modest growth, and non-hydroelectric renewable energy more than doubles between 2009 and 2035.

Release Date: June 15, 2023. The final set of consumption and expenditures tables are now available. These tables include estimates of energy consumption and expenditures by end use (for example, air conditioning and water heating).
U.S. energy consumption in 2020 increased for renewables, fell for all other fuels. tags: consumption/demand renewables. Energy production in the United States fell by more than 5% in 2020. tags: coal crude oil liquid fuels natural gas nuclear oil/petroleum + production/supply renewables.
