Table 3 presents the amount of energy consumed by all commercial and institutional establishments in Canada in 2004 for each energy source.

Nearly 406 million GJ were consumed through the use of electricity, which represents 43 percent of total energy consumption. Natural gas usage reached 366 million GJ, or 39 percent of the total. Diesel use and propane use ranked more marginally, representing only 3 percent of all energy consumption, compared with 2 percent for other middle distillates and steam.
