How much of the world's electricity supply is generated from wind and who are the leading generators?
Jun 16, 2010
Worldwide wind power generation exceeded 200 billion kilowatthours in 2008, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of over 18 million average households in the United States. Wind generation increased by about 25% from 2007 to 2008, and has more than tripled since 2003. This growth is mostly due to capacity increases in the United States, China, India, and Western Europe. Despite this growth, the world still generated less than 1% of its total electricity from wind power in 2008.
Electric Power Monthly
Jun 16, 2010
The latest EPM issue (June 2010) is now available on EIA's Electricity page. Data are for March 2010, during which net generation in the United States grew by 0.3 percent and consumption of coal for power generation grew by 6.4 percent compared to March 2009. The average retail price of electricity for February 2010 was 9.56 cents per kilowatthour (kWh), 1.6 percent lower than March 2009 when the average retail price of electricity was 9.72 cents per kWh.

OPEC Revenues Fact Sheet
Jun 9, 2010
Based on projections from the EIA June 2010 Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) could earn $751 billion of net oil export revenues in 2010 and $809 billion in 2011. Last year, OPEC earned $573 billion in net oil export revenues, a 41 percent decrease from 2008. Saudi Arabia earned the largest share of these earnings, $154 billion, representing 27 percent of total OPEC revenues. On a per-capita basis, OPEC net oil export earning reached $1,553 in 2009.

Seasonality in the Natural Gas Balancing Item: Historical Trends and Corrective Measures
Jun 4, 2010
This special report examines an underlying cause of the seasonal pattern in the balancing item published in the Natural Gas Monthly. Research finds that a significant portion of data collected on EIA's primary monthly natural gas consumption survey reflects billing data that do not strictly coincide with the actual calendar month, which creates an aggregate-level discrepancy with EIA's other natural gas supply and disposition data series. This discrepancy is especially observable during the fall and spring as one transitions into and out of the winter heating season. The report also outlines improved data collection and estimation procedures that will be implemented later this year to more closely align reported and actual calendar month consumption.

Monthly Energy Review
May 27, 2010
EIA's primary report of recent energy statistics: total energy production, consumption, and trade; energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity, nuclear energy, renewable energy, and international petroleum; carbon dioxide emissions; and data unit conversions. Preliminary MER data show that U.S. primary energy consumption rose almost 3% in the first 2 months of 2010 compared with the first 2 months of 2009, due to increases in the consumption of natural gas, coal, and biomass. Total energy consumption in the residential and industrial sectors of the U.S. economy increased by 6% and 4%, respectively, due primarily to increases in the consumption of natural gas. See What's New in the Monthly Energy Review for a record of changes.

Notable highlights include:
- World marketed energy consumption increases by 49 percent from 2007 to 2035 in the Reference case.
- Total energy demand in the non-OECD countries increases by 84 percent, compared with an increase of 14 percent in the OECD countries.
