Preliminary results for the 2022 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS)
(Thu, 20 Mar 2025) We released our preliminary results from the 2022 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) on March 20, 2025.The initial data table provides information on total U.S. manufacturing energy consumption for all purposes (fuel and nonfuel). The new data show total energy consumption increased for the third continuous four-year period, largely due to increased natural gas consumption; solar-, wind-, hydro-, and geothermal-powered onsite electricity generation; and wider use of other renewable energy sources such as agricultural waste.
State Energy Data System: Motor gasoline and fuel ethanol through 2023
(Fri, 14 Mar 2025) Annual state-level estimates of motor gasoline consumption, prices, and expenditures and fuel ethanol consumption.
State Energy Data System: Distillate fuel oil, renewable diesel, and biodiesel through 2023
(Fri, 28 Feb 2025) Annual state-level estimates of consumption, prices, and expenditures for distillate fuel oil and consumption for renewable diesel and biodiesel.
Residential energy expenditures have increased with colder weather and higher prices
Residential energy expenditures for homes heating with natural gas and propane for the current winter (November through March) have grown, and now we expect them to total 10% more than last winter. In our initial Winter Fuels Outlook forecasts published in October 2024, we had expected that homes mainly heating with natural gas would spend between 2% less or 7% more this winter than last, depending on weather conditions. As the winter has progressed and energy prices and consumption have increased beyond our initial expectations, we have revised these forecasts upward.
State Energy Data System: Hydrocarbon gas liquids through 2023
(Fri, 14 Feb 2025) Annual state-level estimates of consumption, prices, and expenditures for hydrocarbon gas liquids.
State Energy Data System: Coal through 2023
(Fri, 31 Jan 2025) Annual state-level estimates of coal consumption, prices, and expenditures.
EIA extends five key energy forecasts through December 2026
In our January 2024 Short-Term Energy Outlook, which includes data and forecasts through December 2026, we forecast five key energy trends that we expect will help shape markets over the next two years.
State Energy Data System: Natural gas through 2023
(Fri, 10 Jan 2025) Annual state-level estimates of natural gas consumption, prices, and expenditures.
State Energy Data System: Noncombustible renewable energy through 2023
(Fri, 20 Dec 2024) Annual state-level estimates of consumption for noncombustible renewable energy (wind, solar, hydroelectric, and geothermal) through 2023.
Above-average hurricane activity disrupted U.S. energy infrastructure in 2024
The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which ran from June 1 through November 30, exhibited above-average activity with more named storms and hurricanes than usual, including several that disrupted U.S. energy infrastructure, primarily on the Gulf Coast and in the Southeast. Energy impacts from hurricanes this season were most notable in electricity markets, although Hurricanes Francine, Helene, and Rafael forced some oil and natural gas production from fields in the Gulf of Mexico to be shut in.
