Overview

This analysis includes a comprehensive United States energy market report and updated datasets. It is derived from the most recent key economic indicators, supply and demand factors, oil and gas pricing trends and major energy issues and developments surrounding the energy industry. The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.

Highlights

  • The US has set a new target of a 50-52% reduction in GHG emissions in 2030 compared to 2005 levels.
  • Ten large electricity companies own about 30% of the total capacity.
  • Since 2018, Chevron topped ExxonMobil as the country's biggest crude and NGL producer.
  • The US is the largest producer of both oil and gas worldwide.
  • Oil production decreased by 5% in 2020, after a decade-long increase driven by non-conventional oil, and did not fully recover in 2021.
  • Renewables reached 21% of the power mix in 2021 and carbon free sources 39%.
  • US energy prices are generally around 40-50% below the OECD average.
  • Total energy consumption only partly recovered in 2021 after a sharp drop in 2020 (+4% vs -8%). A significant rebound of coal consumption was observed in 2021 (+10%).
  • LNG export capacities are expected to increase by more than 50% by 2026 and LNG export volumes to double by 2050.
  • More than 40% of the coal-fired capacity will be retired by 2030, and almost 20% of the nuclear capacity by 2033.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Department of Energy (DoE) oversees the coordination of all the national activities concerning the production, regulation, management, and conservation of energy. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is in charge of developing and promoting energy technologies that contribute to "sustainable" development.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    Natural gas production increased by 90% between 2005 and 2019 (5%/year on average; it declined slightly in 2020 and recovered in 2021 to 969 bcm (+2%). This increasing trend was mainly driven by shale gas production, which went from 53 bcm in 2006 to 768 bcm in 2021 (i.e. around 79% of total gas production).

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Average gasoline and diesel prices are very close and are driven by the crude oil price; they averaged around $0.8/l in 2021. They are the lowest among OECD countries (around 50% lower than the average in the rest of the OECD) and increased by around 21% and 17% in 2021 for gasoline and diesel, respectively, following a decrease in 2020, thus reaching levels similar to 2019.

  • Energy Consumption

    Per capita consumption was around 6.4 toe/cap (including 12 MWh/cap of electricity) in 2021, which is more than 60% higher than the OECD average.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Official EIA long-term forecasts (AEO- Annual Energy Outlook 2022, reference scenario) expect energy consumption to increase by 27% until 2050 (0.9%/year on average).

  • Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
  • Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
  • Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
  • Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The United States energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the United States country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • United States Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the United States energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).

The United States country report is complemented with a national power generation dashboard (excel file) from our Power Plant Tracker Service.

Data included in the excelsheet:
