(Thu, 20 Mar 2025) We released our preliminary results from the 2022 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) on March 20, 2025.The initial data table provides information on total U.S. manufacturing energy consumption for all purposes (fuel and nonfuel). The new data show total energy consumption increased for the third continuous four-year period, largely due to increased natural gas consumption; solar-, wind-, hydro-, and geothermal-powered onsite electricity generation; and wider use of other renewable energy sources such as agricultural waste.
