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. In addition, the EIA publishes long- and short-term energy forecasts. Coverage of EIA's programs includes data on coal, petroleum, natural gas, electric, renewable and nuclear energy.

One interesting product of the EIA is the Monthly Energy Review, which provides statistics on monthly and annual US national energy consumption going back approximately 30 years, broken down by source in downloadable PDF. The figures are given in units of quads (quadrillion BTUs.)
