Australia's total energy consumption has dropped by nearly 5 per cent in less than a decade, driven by booming electric vehicle sales, lower household gas use and rising renewable electricity generation. The decline reflects a major increase in energy efficiency across the economy, and is being discussed as evidence that electrification and green power are reshaping national energy demand.

Why now: Fresh data showing a real decline in national energy use highlights the tangible impact of EV uptake and renewables on Australia's economy.
