In 2021, the industrial sector consumed nearly half (45 percent) of Nebraska's total energy consumption. The other three end–use sectors comprised relatively equal portions of Nebraska's total energy consumption. Twenty–two (22) percent of the energy consumed in Nebraska was used in the transportation sector. The residential sector consumed 18 percent, and the commercial sector consumed 15 percent. This is reflected in Figure 1.
Between 2020 and 2021, the industrial sector's energy use increased 6.5 percent, the transportation sector's energy use increased 4.8 percent, and the commercial sector's energy use increased 1.2 percent. The residential sector's energy use decreased 0.5 percent.
