In terms of total energy consumption per capita, Louisiana ranked the highest of any state, totaling 912 million Btu (MMBtu) per person in 2015. These rankings reflect the total consumption across all sectors in the state: residential, commercial, transportation, industrial, and electric power. Wyoming ranked second with 893 MMBtu, followed by Alaska (840 MMBtu), North Dakota (802 MMBtu), and Iowa (479 MMBtu).

Is that really the reason? I figured the OT might have some creative ideas about what the 2nd, 3rd and other factors might be.

100 Degree F temps and 100% humidity comes to mind. Takes a bit of energy to cool things down and get rid of my swamp arse.

Plants. Simple. A lot of megawatts needed to run the process.

I would think the main reason is the amount of Industrial plants here..... it takes energy to make energy.

I've lived it worked in every state on the South. It doesn't get much hotter and more miserable them in Louisiana summers. Plus, there are a lot of older homes, that aren't very energy efficient.
