What's New in Electricity

  • Electric Power Monthly
    (PDF - 2 meg) (10/19/04)
    The latest issue is now available on EIA's Electricity page. The publication for October 2004 presents preliminary electricity sales and revenue data for the Transportation Sector for 2004. In January 2004, EIA revised its survey to specifically collect transportation data. These data consist primarily of electricity delivered to and consumed by local, regional and metropolitan mass transportation systems. Data being published for the first time in the October 2004 EPM include January through July monthly 2004 data. Comments on the Transportation data have also been included in the Technical Notes.

    Historical copies of the EPM tables in Excel format have also been posted on the EIA website, dating back to the May 2003 publication of the EPM. These files can be accessed at the following address: http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/epm_ex_bkis.html.

    The publication for October 2004 continues to present graphs in the executive summary showing the share of generation by energy source, the share of generation by sector, generation by the three major energy sources (coal, nuclear and natural gas), and the average retail price of electricity by end use sector.

  • Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants Report — Revised Preliminary Data Files for 2003
    (09/13/2004) The preliminary data files for monthly 2003 data from the Form EIA-423 have been revised and are now available on EIA's Electricity Databases Files in dbf and spreadsheet format. Final Form EIA-423 data for 2003 are expected to be posted by December 2004. The data files contain information on fuel type, fuel origin, type of purchase, as well as quantity and quality of fuel for unregulated electric power plants 50 MW or greater in size. (Fuel cost data for these entities are confidential and are omitted from this site but aggregate cost information is included in the Electric Power Monthly.)

  • (Form EIA-860) The preliminary data files with data as of January 1, 2004 are now available on EIA's Electricity Database Files in dbf and spreadsheet format. The data files contain information on existing electric generating capacity and planned capacity additions in the United States.  The detailed data include plant location, plant primary purpose and associated generators’ prime mover, energy sources, nameplate capacity, summer and winter capacities and date of initial commercial operation. These data are collected from all electric utilities, independent power producers and commercial and industrial power producers who operate electric power plants that have a total nameplate capacity of one megawatt or greater.  These data are used to assess the adequacy of the Nation’s existing and future electric generating capacity and to support various analyses of the electric power industry.

  • Annual Electric Power Industry Report - Preliminary Data Files for 2003
    (09/02/2004) The preliminary data files for the 2003 cycle Form EIA-861 are now available on EIA's Electricity Database Files in dbf and spreadsheet format. The data files contain information on electric utility operations including the production, transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy, as well as utility-administered demand-side management programs and utility service areas. Data are collected from all electric utilities in the United States, the Dominion of Puerto Rico, and the Territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. The data series from the Form EIA-861 survey are used to support present and historical analyses of the electric power industry.
  • Annual Electric Industry Financial Report
    (08/31/2004) The preliminary database for year 2003 Form EIA-412, is now available on EIA's Electricity Database Files in Excel spreadsheet format. The data file contains information regarding accounting and transmission data from electric industry utilities in the United States. These data are used to monitor the current status and trends of the electric power industry and to evaluate the future of the industry.

  • Annual Steam-Electric Plant Operation and Design Database
    (Form EIA-767) (HTML) (08/31/2004) The year 2003 Form EIA-767, preliminary database is now available on EIA's Electricity Database Files in Excel spreadsheet format. The data file contains information regarding steam-electric plant operations and equipment design, including boilers, generators, cooling systems, flue gas particulate collectors, flue gas desulfurization units, stacks and flues.
    These data are used by the Environmental Protection Agency as the basis of their Emissions Allowance Tracking System.

  • Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Utility Plants 2001
    (PDF - 1.4 meg) (3/2/04) The latest edition is now available on EIA’s Electricity page. This Internet-only report contains tables compiled from data reported by regulated electric utilities in 2001 on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Form 423, “Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants.” Summary tables include statistics on receipts of fossil fuels by type of fuel, 2000-2001; average delivered cost of fuels by type of purchase, 2000-2001; average quality of coal by state of origin, 2000-2001; and receipts of coal by rank, 1997-2001. Chapter 1 tables present fossil-fuel data at the census division and state level, including receipts, average delivered cost, and type of purchase. Chapter 2 tables include data on the origin and destination of coal. Chapter 3 tables contain fossil-fuel data at the electric utility and plant level.
  • State Electricity Profiles 2002
    (02/04/04) This Internet only report contains a summary of key State electricity statistics for 2002 contrasted with 1997 and 1993. The tables present summary statistics for the 10 largest plants by generating capacity; the top 5 utilities, ranked by retail sales; electric power industry generating capacity by primary energy source; electric power industry generation by primary energy source; delivered fuel prices for coal, petroleum, and natural gas; electric power emissions estimates; and retail electricity sales, revenue, and average retail price of electricity by sector.
