The monthly consumption of coal for the generation of electricity in the United States stood at nearly 41.6 million metric tons in June 2022, an increase of over 19 percent from the previous year. Figures fluctuated greatly since 2016. Consumption dropped to a low of 23.7 million tons in April 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. However, by the following year, coal power consumption had notably increased again and reached 56.3 million tons in July 2021. Seasonal fluctuations are due to greater electricity demand in summer months as people crank up their air conditioning units.
