Just as in the residential sector, electricity and natural gas dominate end-use consumption in the commercial sector. Electricity use has been growing consistently over time while consumption of the other fuel types has remained relatively stable. The most volatility can be seen in natural gas consumption; however, since the 1970s natural gas consumption has remained in a rather tight consumption range. Since the year 2002 natural gas consumption has decreased slightly, and in the year 2004, it accounted for 42 percent of commercial energy consumption. For the same time period, electricity consumption increased to 50 percent.
