Energy consumption in the manufacturing sector fell by 5 per cent in 2014–15, similar to the fall in the previous year. This was underpinned by a fall in energy use in non-ferrous metals, chemical, and petroleum refining (Table 3.5). Industrial closures, such as the Gove alumina refinery, the Point Henry aluminium smelter, and the Kurnell and Bulwer Island petroleum refineries, contributed to this decline in energy use. As mentioned earlier,
