Drop in New South Wales power consumption

摘要

One of Australia's largest electricity distributors said it is experiencing a "historic" cut in households' demand for power, according to ABC News. New South Wales distributor, Ausgrid announced in August that demand for its electricity by regular households has fallen 2 per cent each year for the past four years. It is the first time the company has seen a fall in demand since the 1950s. "If you go right back to the 1950s, residential consumption has continued to rise year on year, and in around 2006, we saw that plateau," Ausgrid energy efficiency specialist, Paul Myors said.
