  Energy Information Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Energy Information Administration (EIA), as part of the U.S. Department of Energy, collects and disseminates data on energy reserves, production, consumption, distribution, prices, technology, and related international, economic, and financial matters.
Coverage of EIA's programs includes data on coal, petroleum, natural gas, electric, and nuclear energy.
One interesting product of the EIA is the Monthly Energy Review, which provides statistics on recent monthly and annual (going back approximately 30 years), US national energy consumption, broken down by source in downloadable PDF.

In Australia, the Freedom of Information Act 1982 was passed at the federal level in 1982, applying to all "ministers, departments and public authorities" of the Commonwealth.
While this information would not often be released, and sometimes only under the thirty year rule, the fact that government ministers now do not annotate and sign documents creates the concerns that while government is open it is not accountable as to who did or saw what or how decision making process works.
The Freedom of Information Act of 19 June 1970 is the implementation of freedom of information legislation in Norway on a national level.

 The US Energy Information Administration
The energy embargo of 1973-74 found the US lacking in its ability to develop a coherent energy policy for the simple reason that, prior to the embargo, energy policy was a decentralized effort that was being pursued by various government agencies, none of which had a specific, exclusive, and all-encompassing energy mandate.
Administrator was required, under this enabling law, to provide any information or analysis in his possession to any office within the Department of Energy and to the public in a form and manner easily adaptable for public use.
It is a description of the EIA data collection, analysis, and dissemination system, but it is also meant to be a reference source for Energy Ministries and similar government institutions that wish to establish energy information agencies of their own.

Meanwhile, energy use in the "transitional economies" of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union is expected to grow by 45% in the period.
The EIA said slow or declining population growth in this region, combined with strong projected gains in energy efficiency as old, inefficient equipment is replaced, would lead to more modest growth in energy demand than in the emerging economies.
Coal is expected to maintain its importance as an energy source in both the electric power and industrial sectors, with the two sectors combined accounting for virtually all the growth in coal use in the mid-term forecast, EIA said.

 Energy Information Administration
The affected information, which is collected on a plant-level basis, includes fuel consumption, quantity, quality, and cost; sales at retail and wholesale; retail sales revenue and number of customers; financial data; thermal output; and cost of purchased power.
EIA is concerned that with the increase in competition in wholesale markets, there is a corresponding need for protection from disclosure of commercially sensitive information.
In the event that EIA does opt for confidential treatment of the plant-level data as proposed, some of the harm to effective regulatory and law-enforcement oversight might be alleviated by developing a system for selective access to the data for state as well as Federal agencies, the staff comment suggested.

EIA has legal authority to survey energy companies and individuals in the United States.
In order to ensure EIA's objectivity about issues that often have great national importance, Congress mandated that EIA's information be developed independently of the policy objectives of the Department of Energy and other parts of government.

 Energy Information Administration on 2020 Energy Demand
Total energy consumption is projected to increase from 96.1 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) to 127.0 quadrillion Btu between 1999 and 2020, an average annual increase of 1.3 percent.
Energy demand for transportation is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 1.8 percent, to 38.5 quadrillion Btu in 2020, 1.0 quadrillion Btu higher than in AEO2000.
Energy intensity is projected to decline at an average annual rate of 1.6 percent through 2020 as efficiency gains and structural shifts in the economy offset the expected growth in demand for energy services.

Energy from MSW is obtained by both direct combustion (i.e., waste-to-energy) and from the recovery of landfill gas.
Over 60 percent of domestic geothermal energy consumption for electricity generation (0.306 quads) is consumed in the industrial sector, principally by "nonutilities." This percentage may rise in the future, as at least one California utility is planning to divest itself of its geothermal electricity plants.
