May 4, 2015 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Republished 1:15 p.m. May 4, 2015 to correct an error in the graph. EIA’s (AEO2015) Reference case projects that electricity consumption will increase at an average annual rate of 0.8% from 2013 to 2040, nearly in line with expected population growth. Continuing a recent trend toward lower […]

Totals exclude electric generation in the end-use sector, which is largely onsite industrial generation. WECC is […]
July 30, 2014 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Outlook 2014 In the (AEO2014), EIA projects that the price of oil will largely determine whether to use carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies to extract additional crude oil from existing producing fields. The injection of CO2 gas into oil reservoirs at high […]
July 18, 2014 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Annual Energy Outlook 2014 Transportation energy consumption, including energy demand from light-duty vehicles, heavy-duty vehicles, aircraft, marine vessels, rail, and other sources, reached 13.8 million barrels per day oil equivalent (boe/d) in 2012 (28% of all energy consumption in the United States), down from a peak of […]
June 13, 2014 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Note: All generation values are for net generation. Different scenarios of natural gas resource availability in the (AEO2014) Reference case, High Oil and Gas Resource case, and Low Oil and Gas Resource case affect the growth of natural gas-fired electric generation. As increasing amounts of natural gas […]
