Does EIA publish energy consumption and price data for cities, counties, or by zip code?

We do not publish data according to zip code. We publish gasoline price data for some cities, and we publish data for electric and natural gas distribution utilities. 

EIA data include:

  • Gasoline prices, including taxes, for 10 cities
  • Electricity retail sales (a proxy for end-use consumption) and average retail price of electricity delivered to end users for distribution utilities

Most cities or municipal areas are served by a single distribution utility. However, many distribution utilities serve a larger area than the jurisdictional boundaries of individual cities. The names of the counties, by state, where each electric utility has distribution equipment, which can be used as an estimate of a utility's service territory, are in the Service Territory file of the EIA 861 survey database. In some cases, more than one utility may have distribution equipment in the same county.

  • Natural gas delivery/sales volumes and prices for natural gas distribution utilities

We do not publish information on the service territory of natural gas utilities.
