(Mon, 04 May 2020) Energy efficiency (EE) incentives offered by electric and natural gas utilities and state EE organizations are an important component of evolving state and local EE policies. To inform EIA’s assumptions for its <em>Annual Energy Outlook</em>, EIA contracted with the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP) to update its Regional Energy Efficiency Database (REED) and to collect detailed measure-level information on EE program incentives from selected utilities.

(Mon, 30 Mar 2020) Natural gas exports—a combination of natural gas delivered to Mexico by pipeline plus liquefied natural gas (LNG) feedstock receipts at liquefaction terminals in the Lower 48 states—have averaged more than 15 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) during the past week (March 24–30), the highest weekly average ever, according to IHS Markit data. Receiving natural gas from pipelines connected to LNG liquefaction plants or feedstock is generally the first step in exporting LNG.

(Fri, 28 Feb 2020) EIA presents a series of alternative cases to the <em>International Energy Outlook 2019</em> (IEO2019) that vary renewable technology capital costs to see the resulting effects on projected electricity capacity and generation in high and low demand growth regions. An analysis of the results is presented in an <em>Issue in Focus</em> article.
