SERVICE 2: ENERDAT

ESTABLISH ENERDAT TO IMPROVE THE MODEL USED FOR CONVEYING ENERGY DATA

Other Information:

Overview: The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is working to deploy EnerDat as a new model for conveying reliable energy data on the agency’s website to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment. The initial focus will be on electricity data and on developing a product model with standard operating procedures that will be applied to other energy subjects for future implementation. Key Customer Groups: Energy market participants and government policymakers. Challenges: To enhance customer understanding of the electricity industry and markets with greater use of publicly available data and innovative display techniques, such as data visualization, interactive graphics, geographic display of information, and downloadable mobile applications. Featured Actions: Redesign the electricity pages of EIA.gov to provide new ways for customers to access and interact with the information. This involves standardizing and automating how data is gathered and managed.
