2024 É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ Electricity Trends Report

É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ the report

The 2024 É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ Electricity Trends Report summarizes electricity data gathered from federal, state and utility sources. It provides an overview of electricity capacity, generation, consumption and price trends from 2011 to 2021.

The comprehensiveness of the report is significant. Electricity data in É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ is fragmented because no one agency is in charge of maintaining records from all communities in the state. In other places with federal reporting requirements, most data are accessible via the . In contrast, while some communities in É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ report to the EIA, most communities report only to the as their operations are not large enough to require federal reporting. Remaining data gaps were filled with information found in filings with the .

As a comprehensive report highlighting electricity trends has not been produced for the state of É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ since 2013É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ™s É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ Energy Statistics Report, this report is a new chance to inform public officials and other stakeholders about the state of the electric generation sector in É«ÊÓƵÏÂÔØ.
