Measures
| Measure | What it measures | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Total energy consumption per capita | Total energy consumed from all sources and sectors, divided by population, for a calendar year. Every state, DC and the US. | million btu |
| Total energy expenditures per capita | Total dollars spent on energy from all sources and sectors, divided by population, for a calendar year. Every state, DC and the US. Published for 1970 to 2024. | usd |
| Energy consumption by source | Total energy consumed for a calendar year, broken out by energy source (petroleum, natural gas, coal, hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, nuclear, and net electricity imports). Idaho and the US only. | billion btu |
| Energy consumption by sector | Total energy consumed for a calendar year, broken out by end-use sector (residential, commercial, industrial, transportation). Idaho and the US only. | billion btu |
Caveats
- The State Energy Data System (SEDS) revises prior years at every release, not just the newest year, so a figure here can change on the next refresh even for a year already published.
- Per-capita figures divide by the Census Bureau population estimate EIA applies for that state and year, not a population figure computed elsewhere on this site.
- SEDS runs about 18 months behind the current year: the complete update each June carries final data only through two years prior.
- Total energy expenditures per capita is published for 1970 to 2024; every other measure in this dataset runs 1960 to 2024.
- Energy consumption by source and by sector store each published series exactly as SEDS prints it, in billion British thermal units; sources are not combined or subtracted from one another, so summing every category will not equal a separately published total energy figure.
- The "net electricity imports" category is SEDS's net interstate flow of electricity and its associated losses: positive when the state was a net importer for the year, negative when it was a net exporter.
- Wind, solar, geothermal and nuclear consumption are stored as zero for years before that source existed in a state, exactly as SEDS publishes them; a zero is a published figure, not a missing one.
