NOTE TO EDITORS:

EIA Releases New State Energy Profiles

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently released State Energy Profiles (http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/state/), a new gateway to EIA’s State energy data, plus individual State Profiles that present key facts and statistics about State energy markets and industries. Many of the statistics in the Profiles will be updated simultaneously with data updates on other parts of the EIA web site.

Current Features of the State Energy Profiles:

  • Energy maps display State energy infrastructure and renewable energy potential.
  • Quick Facts provide the most important State energy information.
  • Data tables provide the most current State-level statistics from EIA surveys.
  • Associated links take users to specific web pages on which EIA’s detailed data and time series can be found.
  • “More . . .” reference pages provide a comprehensive list of EIA’s State-level information plus direct links to the information.

New Features to Come During 2007:

  • Written Overviews will explain how fossil fuels, renewables, and alternative energy sources affect each State’s energy markets.
  • Sidebar Navigation will give users easy access to EIA’s State data publications.
  • Expanded Energy Maps will provide clearer and more detailed views.

Please send us your comments on EIA’s new State Energy Profiles.
