Between 2003 and 2008 average electricity usage in Roebourne(S) increased for business combined and mixed business/residential, while total residential decreased. Federal government combined was extremely volatile, peaking in 2004 before dropping 97% in 2005. Large increases in the number of residential (2006 & 2007) and business (2007) customers may have affected the averages.
Across Roebourne(S) business combined average electricity usage rose between 2003 and 2005 and again between 2007 and 2008, with the number of business users also increasing in the six years to 2008.
The average residential electricity usage in Roebourne(S) has shown consistent falls in the five years between 2003 and 2007, before increasing slightly in 2008. The large jump in numbers of residential customers in 2006 and 2007 may have contributed to the lower averages for this year, as they seem to have done in Port Hedland(T).
