Confirmed1 source · Aug 25, 2026

The U.S. Energy Information Administration maintains a comprehensive data platform covering crude oil, natural gas, electricity, renewable energy, nuclear power, and energy consumption across all sectors.

What happened

The EIA operates a data portal with menu options spanning petroleum products (crude oil, gasoline, heating oil, diesel, propane, biofuels, natural gas liquids), electricity generation and distribution, renewable energy sources (hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, ethanol), nuclear power, and broader energy consumption data across residential, commercial, manufacturing, and transportation sectors. According to EIA documentation, the platform provides monthly and yearly energy forecasts, analysis of energy topics, financial analysis, congressional reports, greenhouse gas data, voluntary reporting, electric power plant emissions data, state energy information, and international energy information. Data access tools include APIs, Excel add-ins, bulk files, and widgets. Educational offerings include lesson plans, science fair experiments, field trips, teacher guides, and career information.

Context

The EIA's integrated data systems allow tracking of energy supply, demand, prices, and environmental impact across all major U.S. energy categories. Access to this data—both through traditional interfaces and open APIs—supports market analysis, policy evaluation, and research across the energy sector.
