California Electricity Consumption Dashboard

Metadata Updated: October 23, 2025

The California Electricity Consumption dashboard illustrates the state’s historical electricity consumption by agency, sector, and county. Data is sourced from Quarterly Fuel and Energy Report (QFER) California Energy Commission (CEC) Form 1306A Schedule 1, which requires utility distribution companies (UDCs) to report the amount of electricity they deliver monthly to end-use customers, along with self-generation datasets. This electricity consumption data is used to analyze electricity demand for local planning and California’s energy demand forecasts. Electricity sales and delivery data are collected quarterly under the authority of the California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1306(a).

Annual statewide electricity consumption can be explored by sector, agency, and county. Each sector consists of several codes defined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Some forecast models, such as those for agriculture & water pumping, commercial building, “transportation, communications, & utilities” (TCU), industrial, and mining, are based on sector-level data subdivided by NAICS categories. These categories consist of census-defined NAICS subsectors and Energy Commission-defined category codes. The data presented in this dashboard was previously available through the California Energy Consumption Database Management (ECDMS).
