Energy consumption per capita in the U.S. 2020, by state
Louisiana had the highest per capita energy consumption of any state in the United States in 2020. That year, residents of the state consumed 903.1 million British thermal units of energy. This was more than three times the U.S. average, which stood at 280.1 million British thermal units. Louisiana's high energy consumption comes from the energy-intensive chemicals, petroleum, and natural gas industries located there.
