The table illustrates the energy consumption of the commercial sector in the UK, India, and South Africa from 2015 to 2020, measured in petajoules (PJ). Over this period, all three countries exhibited a general upward trend in energy consumption, but the rate of increase varied among them.

In the UK, energy consumption rose steadily from 100 PJ in 2015 to 150 PJ in 2020, reflecting a consistent annual growth of 10 PJ. This indicates moderate growth compared to the other countries. Similarly, India experienced a steady increase from 200 PJ in 2015 to 250 PJ in 2020. Although the annual increment of 10 PJ mirrors the UK's, India’s starting and final consumption levels were significantly higher, underscoring the country’s greater energy demand in this sector.

South Africa displayed a less uniform trend. Its energy consumption decreased slightly from 150 PJ in 2015 to 140 PJ in 2016

but

then steadily increased to 190 PJ by 2020. This irregular pattern makes South Africa stand out compared to the steady growth observed in the UK and India.

Overall, India consumed the most energy consistently, followed by South Africa and then the UK. While all three countries showed growth, South Africa’s initial decline and later recovery are notable, indicating potential fluctuations in its commercial energy sector during this period.
