Energy consumption by end-use sector: A comparison of measures by consumption and supply surveys.

摘要

This report was prepared in response to a request from the Office of Policy Integration in the US Department of Energy for an analysis of how Energy Information Administration data from its consumption surveys compares with data from its supply surveys. The consumption surveys provide valuable details about energy use by the consumers, while the supply surveys provide valuable detail on trends in total consumption. The Office of Policy Integration, and other users of EIA data, often need to rely on supply surveys to understand trends and on consumption surveys to understand market forces. This report highlights those areas where the two types of surveys overlap and reinforce each other and those areas where they have differences. This report is a first step in making both sets of EIA data more useful to policy analysts who use EIA data in their work. 9 tabs.
