Energy Department Reports: Wind Energy Continues Rapid Growth in 2016
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Energy Department today released three wind market reports demonstrating continued growth in wind energy nationwide. America’s wind industry added more than 8,200 megawatts (MW) of capacity last year, representing 27 percent of all energy capacity additions in 2016. In 2016, wind supplied about 6 percent of U.S. electricity, and 14 states now get more than 10 percent of their electricity from wind. The reports cover the following market sectors: land-based utility scale, o...
NARUC Welcomes FERC Senate Confirmations and Quorum
WASHINGTON—The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners welcomes the Senate’s confirmation of Robert F. Powelson and Neil Chatterjee as commissioners to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The confirmations return FERC’s quorum and will allow movement on important regulatory energy issues that had been stymied for months. “This is certainly positive news for our members, as there are several matters that can be addressed now that we will have a quorum at FERC,” said NARU...
North America Oilfield Roller Chain Market to Cross $146 million by 2022
According to a recently published TechSci Research report, “North America Oilfield Roller Chain Market By Application, By Type, By Country, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2012 – 2022”, oilfield roller chain market in the region is anticipated to cross $ 146 million by 2022, on account of rise in exploration of shale gas, tight oil and other unconventional resources in North America. Over the past decade, countries such as the US and Canada, have experienced substantial growth in demand fo...
Many States Have Adopted Policies to Encourage Energy Efficiency
As of July 2017, thirty states and the District of Columbia have adopted energy efficiency policies—either mandated requirements, voluntary goals, or pilot programs—designed to lower the growth of electricity consumption by using electricity more efficiently. Seven of these states have either created new or updated existing energy efficiency standards within the past year. Since Texas became the first state with an energy efficiency resource standard (EERS) in 1999, 24 states have adopted an...
Energy Department Announces Eleven Projects to Boost Private-Sector Support of Energy Innovation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $7.8 million in support of eleven projects to unlock private-sector resources for energy innovation. The projects, part of DOE's Innovative Pathways program, are designed to address the systemic barriers currently preventing the private sector from more fully supporting energy innovation and bringing new energy technologies to market. The projects will develop and test new ways to integrate emerging technologies into the ene...

U.S. Crude Oil Production Forecast Expected to Reach Record High in 2018
In EIA’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), total U.S. crude oil production is forecast to average 9.3 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2017, up 0.5 million b/d from 2016. In 2018, EIA expects crude oil production to reach an average of 9.9 million b/d, which would surpass the previous record of 9.6 million b/d set in 1970. EIA forecasts that most of the growth in U.S. crude oil production through the end of 2018 will come from tight rock formations within the Permian region...
Natural Gas-Fired Electricity Generation so far this Summer is Below Last Year’s Level
The amount of natural gas used for electricity generation, also known as power burn, reached its highest daily level so far in 2017 during the past week, exceeding 41 billion cubic feet (Bcf) on July 20, according to data from PointLogic Energy. Natural gas-fired electricity generation typically peaks at the end of July or the beginning of August because of high demand for air conditioning during that period. Power burn reached a record daily high on August 11, 2016, surpassing 42 Bcf. Power...
