Monthly Energy Review

September 2024 PDF | previous editions
Release Date: September 25, 2024 Next Release Date: October 28, 2024

Beginning with the September 2023 Monthly Energy Review (MER), we updated the way we calculate primary energy consumption of electricity generation from noncombustible renewable energy sources. Visit our Changes to the Monthly Energy Review page to learn more.

A publication of recent and historical U.S. energy statistics. This publication includes total energy production, consumption, stocks, and trade; energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity, nuclear energy, renewable energy, and carbon dioxide emissions; and data unit conversions values.

Each month, most MER tables and figures present data for a new month. These data are usually preliminary (and sometimes estimated or forecasted) and likely to be revised the following month. The first dissemination of most annual data is also preliminary. It is often based on monthly estimates and is likely to be revised later that year after final data are published from sources, according to source data revision policies and publication schedules. In addition, EIA may revise historical data when a major revision in a source publication is needed, when new data sources become available, or when estimation methodologies are improved. A record of current and historical changes to MER data is available on the What's New in the Monthly Energy Review—Content Changes webpage.
