Manufacturing and aluminium each represented 13%, while other metals consumed 12%. Mining accounted for 9%, whereas agriculture and transport used the smallest proportions, at only 1% each.
By 2010, electricity consumption in the residential and commercial sectors stayed stable at 28% and 23%, respectively. Similarly, mining remained at 9%, and both agriculture and transport continued to consume just 1%. However, the proportion used by manufacturing decreased significantly from 13% to 9%, and aluminium consumption also fell slightly from 13% to 11%.
