Networked Gas Daily Consumption June 2023

Household gas consumption fell by 29% in June 2023 compared with June 2022

Online ISSN: 2811-6240

CSO statistical publication, 05 September 2023, 11am

Key Findings

Total networked gas consumption in June 2023 was 9% lower than in June 2022 (See Table 1).
Compared with June 2022, gas consumption decreased for all categories of customer: non-daily metered (-29%), daily metered (-14%), large daily metered (-12%), and power plants (-5%) (See Table 1).
For each day in June 2023, large daily metered gas consumption was lower than the same day in June 2022 (See Tables 5A and 5B).
The mean temperature at Dublin Airport for June 2023 was 15.3°C, compared with 13.6°C in June 2022.

Statistician's Comment

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (05 September 2023) published Networked Gas Daily Consumption June 2023.

Commenting on the release Kevin Hunt, Statistician in the Environment and Climate Division, said: “Total metered gas consumption was 4,054 gigawatt hours (GWh) for June 2023, which was 9% lower than in June 2022 (See Table 1).

Gas consumption by non-daily metered customers in June 2023 was 29% lower than June 2022 and 26% lower than June 2021 (See Table 1 and Editor's Note below). This was the lowest month for non-daily metered consumption recorded since January 2021, the earliest month of data currently available (See Table 1 and Background Notes).

Gas consumption by daily metered customers in June 2023 was also the lowest on record since January 2021, with a decrease of 14% in consumption compared with June 2022 (See Table 1).

Large daily metered customer gas consumption in June 2023 was 12% below that of June 2022 (See Table 1). For each day in June 2023, large daily metered gas consumption was lower than the same day in June 2022 (See Tables 5A and 5B).

Gas consumption by power plants in June 2023 decreased by 5% compared with June 2022 (See Table 1).

According to Met Éireann, the mean temperature in Dublin Airport for June 2023 was 15.3°C, compared with a mean of 13.6°C for June 2022. The long-term average mean for June, for the reference period 1981-2010, was 13.4°C".

Meteorological Data

This release includes information on the maximum daily air temperature at Dublin airport and the daily mean wind speed at Dublin airport (See Tables 7A, 7B, 8A and 8B). The amount of wind influences the balance between electricity generated from natural gas and from wind turbines. The maximum daily air temperature impacts on household heating demand on colder days.

Editor's Note

Non-daily metered customers have an annual consumption of less than 5.55 GWh. This covers households, as well as some small and medium enterprises. Daily metered customers consume over 5.55 GWh per year, while large daily metered customers consume over 57.5 GWh annually. See Background Notes for further detail.
