What does the data say?
Electricity (kWs) and gas (terms) decreased by 7% and natural gas increased by 20%. Due to data-cleaning, water, trash, and fuel data are unavailable at this time.
What is causing the data trend?
The main reasons for the decrease in electricity could be additional solar panels added to Park District facilities. Natural gas may be higher due to construction at Dole and Carroll Center where a gas heater was used to keep workers warm.
