Since 1960, annual natural gas consumption in New York State rose from 419 billion CF to 762 billion in 1981, supplying 21% of the state's primary energy. Although total energy consumption peaked in 1973 and 4281.5 trillion Btu, gas usage dropped after 1972 and then rose steadily to a maximum of 782 trillion Btu in 1981. Statistics show that (1) residential gas consumption peaked in 1972 and declined 0.9%/yr thereafter, (2) commercial gas usage was the highest ever in 1981, (3) industrial sales also peaked in 1981, and (4) after a 1978 low of 1.3 trillion Btu of gas usage for power generation, utility consumption rose to 135.2 trillion Btu by 1981, reflecting efforts to cut oil usage. New York consumers spent $734 million on gas in 1970 and $3105 million in 1981. Of the natural gas consumed, only 2.5% was produced in New York; 51% came from fields offshore Louisiana.
