NEW YORK--U.S. natural gas consumption rose 4.4% in 2012, to 25.5 trillion cubic feet, the highest level on records beginning in 1949, the federal Energy Information Administration said in a report released Thursday.
The rise came as natural gas delivered to power-generators jumped 20.6% to 9.1 trillion cubic feet, a record high on EIA data beginning in 1997.
Gas delivered to residential users fell by 11.4% to 4.177 trillion cubic feet, the lowest level since 1966.
EIA said preliminary annual totals for 2012 show record dry production of 24 trillion cubic feet in 2012, a 5% increase over 2011.
