The United States is expected to export more energy than it imports by 2020

(Tue, 29 Jan 2019) EIA projects that, for the first time since the 1950s, the United States will export more energy than it imports by 2020 as increases in crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas plant liquids production outpace growth in U.S. energy consumption. Different assumptions about crude oil prices and resource extraction affect how long EIA projects that the United States will export more energy than it imports.

New interactive New England dashboard tracks energy capacity constraints

(Wed, 23 Jan 2019) In order to increase understanding of weather-related energy capacity issues in New England, EIA has begun publication of an interactive dashboard that provides timely information about energy market conditions in that region. The New England Dashboard (NED) provides an integrated view of the energy commodities—natural gas/liquefied natural gas, electricity, and petroleum products—and market-influencing fundamentals—such as weather—that can influence energy consumption, prices, flows, and security in the region.

EIA forecasts renewables will be fastest growing source of electricity generation

(Fri, 18 Jan 2019) EIA expects non-hydroelectric renewable energy resources such as solar and wind will be the fastest growing source of U.S. electricity generation for at least the next two years. EIA’s January 2019 <em>Short-Term Energy Outlook</em> (STEO) forecasts that electricity generation from utility-scale solar generating units will grow by 10% in 2019 and by 17% in 2020. According to the January STEO, wind generation will grow by 12% and 14% during the next two years. EIA forecasts total U.S.
