Important notes about the data
Note: The emphasis of the Annual Energy Review (AER) is on long-term trends. Analysts may wish to use the data in this report in conjunction with EIA’s monthly releases that offer updates to the most recent years’ data. In particular, see the Monthly Energy Review for statistics that include updates to many of the annual series in this report.
Data Years Displayed: For tables beginning in 1949, some early years (usually 1951-1954, 1956-1959, 1961-1964, and 1966-1969) are not shown on the tables in the printed report or the PDF formats; however, all years of data are shown in the Excel formats and the HTML formats.
Comprehensive Changes: Most AER 2010 tables and figures carry a new year of data (usually 2010), which are often preliminary and likely to be revised next year, and revisions to much of the 2009 data, which are now final in many cases.

Forty-three interactive graphs showing trends in U.S. energy production, consumption, and trade from 1949-2010
Changes in AER 2010:
- Energy Resources has been expanded to include six maps showing U.S. renewable energy resources.
- Appendix F has been added to include an explanation of alternatives for estimating energy consumption.
- Primary Energy Production by Source (Table 1.2), Consumption for Electricity Generation by Energy Source: Electric Power Sector (Table 8.4b), and other tables have new values for geothermal energy, due to the use of a different Btu conversion factor for geothermal electricity net generation.
- Primary Energy Consumption by Source (Table 1.3) has been reconfigured to display noncombustible renewable energy in three columns: Captured Energy, Adjustment for Fossil Fuel Equivalence, and Primary Energy Total.
