Electrical Consumption
Electric energy consumption
- the form of energy consumption that
uses electric energy. Electric energy consumption is
the actual energy demand made on existing electricity
supply.

Consumption of electric energy is measured in watt-

hours (written W·h, equal to watts x hours)
1 W·h = 3600 joule = 859.8 calorie.
In recent years, the Philippine
economy continues to
boom. Together with this growth
is the increase in supply and
demand across sectors. Focusing
on the energy sector of the country,
despite conventional energy
consumption dropping, the move
to renewable energy sources
projects increase in the near
future’s consumption.
 According to the International Energy Statistics (IES) latest study on Philippine energy
consumption, the total primary energy usage of the country reaches roughly 1.260 quadrillion
British thermal units (Btu). This amount shows that the country’s energy consumption level is
drastically low as it barely makes up 1 percent of the total 199 Btu total energy consumed by Asia
and Oceania. However in Southeast Asia, the Philippines is positioned at the median of countries in
terms of energy utilization.

Total energy consumed and most commonly used energies differed per sector:
 Residential Energy Consumption
According to the results of the latest National Statistics Office (NSO) and Department of
Energy (DOE) Household Energy Consumption Survey (HECS), Philippine households commonly
used electricity as their main source of energy. During the reference period March to August 2011, 18
million households or 87.2 percent of the 21 million participating households used electricity. This
is followed by fuelwood, LPG, charcoal, kerosene, gasoline, biomass residues with and diesel as
household sources of energy. Wherein electricity was the most common source of energy used by
Filipino households, local establishments favored a different energy source.
 Industrial and Commercial Energy Consumption
Based from the results of the first National Statistics Office (NSO) and Department of
Energy (DOE) Survey of Energy Consumption of Establishments (SECE) conducted in 2010, a total
of 53,889.59 kilo Tons of oil equivalent (kToe) were consumed by 143,868 energy-consuming
industries. All renewable energies were used to run machineries and equipments.
There are easy practices and common solutions to reduce energy consumption:

 Shutdown your computer

 Computers are some of the biggest energy users in office buildings. Turn your monitor off at
night and ditch the screensaver. Today's computers can be turned on and off over 40,000
times. Opting to shut down over using a screensaver does not affect your computer's lifespan.
(EnergyStar). So power down!
 2. Choose the right light
 LED bulbs are the most energy efficient lighting option. LED bulbs use 75% less electricity
than incandescent bulbs (Energy Star). The also have no mercury, and last about 25 times
longer than traditional incandescent bulbs (DoE).
 3. Eliminate vampire power: unplug idle electronics.
 Devices like televisions, microwaves, scanners, and printers use standby power, even when off.
Some chargers continue to pull small amounts of energy, even when plugged in (a good judge
of this is if a charger feels warm to the touch). In the US, the total electricity consumed by idle
electronics equals the annual output of 12 power plants (EPA).
 4. Use a power strip to reduce your plug load.
 To avoid paying for this "vampire power," use a power strip to turn all devices off at once.
Flipping the switch on your power strip has the same effect as unplugging each socket from
the wall, preventing phantom energy loss.
 5. Turn off the lights
 Just one switch and you're done!
