Mild temperatures reduced U.S. household heating fuel consumption last winter
We estimate that U.S. households consumed less heating oil this winter heating season because of warmer-than-expected temperatures than we estimated at the beginning of the winter heating season. Combined with stable heating oil prices, our current estimate of average household heating costs for...
EIA explores effects of Inflation Reduction Act on the Annual Energy Outlook
In 2050, we project that total U.S. solar capacity, which includes both utility-scale solar and rooftop solar in the commercial and residential sectors, could range from 532 gigawatts (GW) to 1,399 GW. In our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023), we present 16 scenarios, or cases, that project...
Product Highlight: EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook
Our Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) publication provides near-term energy data, analysis, and forecasts. Each month, the STEO provides forecasts from the time of publication through December of the next calendar year. The STEO forecasts consumption, production, trade, and prices across major fuel...
U.S. production of petroleum and other liquids to be driven by international demand
Strong continuing international demand for petroleum and other liquids will sustain U.S. production above 2022 levels through 2050, according to most of the cases we examined in our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023). We project that the United States will continue to be an integral part of global...
U.S. energy consumption increases between 0% and 15% by 2050
Consumption of all forms of energy increases in the United States between 0% and 15% from 2022 to 2050 in our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023). Our projection of growth in U.S. energy consumption is the result of the effects of economic growth, population growth, and increased travel offsetting...
In 2022, U.S. crude oil exports increased to a new record, 3.6 million barrels a day
In 2022, U.S. crude oil exports averaged 3.6 million barrels per day (b/d), a record high according to export data that has been collected since 1920. U.S. crude oil exports in 2022 were 22% (640,000 b/d) higher than in 2021. Increased U.S. crude oil production, releases from the U.S. Strategic...
U.S. natural gas production grew by 4% in 2022
U.S. natural gas production grew by 4% (4.9 billion cubic feet per day ) in 2022, averaging 119 Bcf/d. Three regions—Appalachia, Permian, and Haynesville—accounted for 60% of all U.S. production in 2022, similar to the proportion in 2021. Read More...
U.S. coal exports remained relatively unchanged between 2021 and 2022
In 2022, 84.8 million short tons (MMst) of coal were exported from the United States, relatively unchanged from the 85.1 MMst exported in 2021. Steam coal accounted for 45% of all U.S. coal exports in 2022; metallurgical coal accounted for 55%. Read More...
Renewable generation surpassed coal and nuclear in the U.S. electric power sector in 2022
Last year, the U.S. electric power sector produced 4,090 million megawatthours (MWh) of electric power. In 2022, generation from renewable sources—wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal—surpassed coal-fired generation in the electric power sector for the first time. Renewable generation...
The majority of U.S. households used natural gas in 2020
In 2020, 61% of U.S. households used natural gas for at least one energy end use, according to our 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS). Space heating, water heating, and cooking were the most common end uses; more than half of U.S. households used natural gas for space heating, closely...
