Power-consuming industry refers to businesses or sectors that consume a significant amount of energy to produce goods or services. There are several synonyms for this term including energy-intensive industry, high-energy consumption industry, electricity-hungry industry, and power-dependent industry. These industries often rely on non-renewable sources of energy such as coal, oil, and gas. As the world becomes more aware of the negative impacts of these industries on the environment, there has been a push towards more sustainable energy sources and practices. This has led to the growth of industries that use renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and prioritize energy efficiency in their operations.
