Energy Use Survey: Services sector 2010

In 2010:

• the services sector used almost 64,000 terajoules (TJ) of energy
• electricity was the most common type of energy used by the services sector, accounting for nearly half of the total energy use

• the industries with the largest energy use were the rental, hiring, and real estate services, and the public administration and safety industries. 

This 2010 survey completes Statistics NZ's programme of energy use surveys for the entire economy. Adding the results from the three-year cycle estimates the New Zealand economy's energy use (excluding households) at almost 393,000 TJ.
