Energy Consumption in Nebraska's Electric Power Sector |
|
The electric power sector consists of facilities which generate electricity primarily for use by the public. Energy is used for the generation, distribution, and transmission of electric power. Between 2004 and 2005, electric power sector energy use decreased 1.6 percent to 331.1 trillion British thermal units (Btu). Petroleum use rose 37 percent although consumption of petroleum products comprises less than one percent of the sector's total consumption. Natural gas use more than doubled, coal use increased 2.2 percent, and renewable energy use increased 2.9 percent. Nuclear electric power use decreased 14 percent. The principal fuels used at electric utilities are coal (67 percent) and nuclear electric power (28 percent). Renewable energy, natural gas, and petroleum make up the other five percent of fuels consumed. In 2005, the amount of electricity generated for distribution from wind was large enough to appear in the table below although the Btu for solar thermal and photovoltaic energy and geothermal energy were comparatively small and rounded to zero. More information on wind energy in Nebraska is available. |
