The chart shows the energy consumption in Highland in 2000 and 2005. As can be seen, the total energy consumption in 2005 was 170 million tons. So it was higher than it was in 2000 (117 million tons). In 2005, nuclear and hydroelectricity made up the largest amount of this figure (75 million tons). This was followed by the consumption of petroleum (50 million tons). Both of them were higher than they were in 2000. However, coal decreased the amount of the energy consumption (from 57 million tons in 2000 to 50 million tons).
