Map 4.1: Australia’s electricity infrastructure and power plants Source: Geoscience Australia (2014) Electricity consumption Electricity consumption in Australia has been declining since 2010–11. This is largely due to energy efficiency improvements in many sectors, consumer responses to higher retail electricity prices, and declines in the petroleum refining, non-ferrous metals, and food, beverage and tobacco manufacturing industries. Electricity consumption fell by 4 per cent in the residential sector in 2013–14 and by 3 per cent in the manufacturing sector which, together with the commercial and services sector which remained fairly flat, are the largest users of electricity.
