Delaware Electricity Industry Summary Statistics (2005)
Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Delaware Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Delaware Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Delaware has a per capita Carbon Score of 20. Delaware has the 45th highest resident population. Each Delaware resident, per population average, produces approximately 22 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Delaware has a total Carbon output state rank of #46, and is the #46th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Delaware has few energy resources aside from wind power potential, which is located onshore and offshore along the Atlantic Coast and in the Delaware Bay. Although its population and total energy consumption are among the lowest in the Nation, Delaware's economy is energy intensive, and per capita energy consumption is high. The State's largest consumer of energy is the industrial sector, in part because Delaware contains several energy-intensive industries including petroleum refining, chemical production, and other manufacturing.
