Taking out rooftop solar, total grid consumption continues to fall. In 2023 it was 184.406 TWh, 1.8% less than in 2022, and a whopping 11.1% less than the peak grid consumption in 2008. This is all due to rooftop solar displacing grid demand.
That's quite amazing. All these people worried about EVs crashing the grid and yet consumption continues to drop. I guess most EV owners are getting solar to go with their car. Free fuel is such a drawcard.
