Budget and Performance

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) receives funding through an annual appropriation from Congress. Our budget falls under the authority of the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Energy and Water Development.

EIA’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 funding is $135 million, which is the same as our FY 2023 level. This funding enables us to collect and report a wide range of publicly-available data that span the energy sector, produce forecasts and long-term projections of U.S. and global energy markets, and publish timely analysis of important energy issues.

We strive to keep pace with developments and changes across the energy system and deliver information that increases public understanding of the dynamic energy landscape.

Our most recent detailed budget requests to Congress contain additional information.

Performance Measures
EIA tracks two official annual performance measures to help assess overall program performance.

• Customer satisfaction:A consistently high customer satisfaction rating reflects EIA's ability to provide stakeholders with information that supports a productive national dialogue on a wide range of energy issues. To this end, we have conducted at least one comprehensive web customer satisfaction survey each year since the mid-1990s to collect a range of information from users, including customer type, frequency of website use, purpose of visit to the site, user perceptions of EIA, and an overall assessment of customer satisfaction with our information. Our performance goal for this measure is for 80% of customers to be satisfied or very satisfied with EIA’s information based on the results of the annual web survey.

• Meeting scheduled product release dates:Timely delivery of EIA's statistics and analyses ensures that our customers have reliable access to information used in a wide range of energy-related decisions. We track scheduled and actual release dates for an extensive list of web-based products that span the energy sector and represent a range of cycles, including weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual releases. Our performance goal for this measure is for 95% of products to be released on schedule.

We have consistently met or exceeded our annual performance goals.
