This office acts as an independent consultant to the DOE and its offices. It researches energy trends, prices and policies, and makes predictions and advice for the government to use in its own policymaking.
Congress established the Energy Information Administration (EIA) in 1974 to help analyze energy statistics and provide energy forecasts to the government after the U.S. energy crisis. Today, the EIA's duties have grown to also collect information on greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, alternative fuels and vehicles that use these fuels, fossil fuel transportation rates and international sales and imports of uranium.
