The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) collects a wide range of data on the electric power industry in the United States. Because of the regulatory history of the electric power industry, EIA's electric power data are almost entirely non-confidential. This guide describes the data that EIA collects and how the data are made available to the public.
The guide is presented in four major sections:
I. Published Aggregate Data: This section discusses EIA's publications of aggregated electricity data.
II. Description of Electricity Data that EIA Collects, Estimates, and Forecasts: This section describes the major types of electricity data that EIA collects, estimates, and forecasts and where EIA publishes the data. The data include:
These sources include hundreds of data elements. For a complete list and explanation of all the data items collected, see the electric power survey forms and instructions, available on EIA's website at https://www.eia.gov/survey/#electricity.
III. EIA Electricity Data Resources: This section describes information resources that EIA provides to the public to facilitate access to and understanding of the data. These resources include:
The web pages that report these data include explanations of the file layouts and contents for current and historical data. In some cases, these descriptions are in the zip folders that contain the downloadable data sets.
IV. Imputation (Estimation) Used by Electricity Surveys: The final section describes EIA's use of statistical imputation in the context of its electricity surveys.
