Rio de Janeiro - The consumption of electricity in the country grew by 1.8% in September compared with the same month last year, reaching 37,600 gigawatts per hour. The data contained in the monthly survey done by the Energy Research Company (EPE), released yesterday (29).
The commercial sector, with growth of 6.2% compared with September 2011, was the segment that contributed most to the growth of energy consumption - especially in the South, where the elevation recorded 8.4%.
Although shown slight improvement, with growth of 0.6% compared to August this year, the industrial segment continues with modest performance because of "uncertainty about the external environment." But when compared to last September, seasonally adjusted, fell by 1.3%.
The consumption of households increased 2.2% from August to September, from accumulating expansion of 4.3% in the first nine months of the year.
