Does EIA publish data on costs for electricity transmission and distribution?
Yes, we publish projections for the average annual prices of U.S. electricity generation, transmission, and distribution in the tables of the Annual Energy Outlook:
- Table 8, Electricity supply, disposition, prices, and emissions
- See the Prices by Service Category section.
- Tables 54 to 54.25, Electric power projections for electricity market module regions
- See the Prices by Service Category section.
We publish data on annual expenditures by U.S. electric utilities on electricity transmission and distribution in Table 8.3, Revenue and expense statistics for major U.S. investor-owned electric utilities, in the Electric Power Annual. We do not publish similar estimates for other countries or specific data on the costs to build or operate electricity transmission lines and distribution networks.
