    California Natural Gas Consumption

    Metadata Updated: September 23, 2025

    The California Natural Gas Consumption dashboard illustrates the state’s historical natural gas consumption by agency, sector, and county level. Data is sourced from Quarterly Fuel and Energy Reports (QFER) California Energy Commission (CEC) Form 1308B, which provides monthly information about the volume and cost of natural gas to categories of end users and provides a list of gas retailers selling gas in California. Natural gas consumption data and information is further used in analyzing natural gas demand for local planning, informs California’s Energy Demand Forecast, and contributes to the Commission’s Integrated Energy Policy Report. Natural gas consumption data is collected quarterly under the authority of the California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Section 1308(b).

    Annual statewide natural gas consumption is available to explore by sector, agency, and county. Each sector consists of several categories determined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Some forecast models, such as agriculture, water pumping, commercial building, “transportation, communications, & utilities” (TCU), industrial, and mining-are based on sector-level data subdivided by NAICS categories. NAICS categories consist of census defined NAICS subsectors and Energy Commission defined category codes. Data featured in this dashboard was previously made available via the California Energy Consumption Database Management (ECDMS).
