Virginia was the top net electricity recipient of any state in 2023
Virginia was the top net electricity recipient of any state in 2023

Electricity routinely flows among the Lower 48 states, with almost 10% of U.S. electricity generation traded across state lines. Generation of electricity exceeds its consumption in 25 states, and excess electricity is transmitted across state lines. In 2023, utilities in Virginia brought in the most electricity from other states, with 50.1 million megawatthours (MWh) in net electricity interstate receipts, or 36% of the state's total electricity supply. Generators in Pennsylvania moved the most electricity outside state borders in 2023, with 83.4 million MWh of power shipped out, or 26% of generation in Pennsylvania.

India to surpass China as the top source of global oil consumption growth in 2024 and 2025

India has emerged as the leading source of growth in global oil consumption in 2024 and 2025, overtaking China this year, according to our December Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). China's oil consumption grew by more than India's in almost every year from 1998 through 2023, with China's oil consumption regularly growing more than any other country during those years.

What are gasoline sulfur credits, and how do they work?
What are gasoline sulfur credits, and how do they work?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Gasoline Sulfur program sets limits on the sulfur content of gasoline sold in the United States, with the aim of reducing a variety of vehicle emissions. The program relies on tradable credits that allow U.S. refiners and gasoline importers to reach compliance with sulfur specifications. For the second year in a row, in 2023, gasoline suppliers obtained and retired more sulfur credits than they generated, a trend that could increase supplier compliance costs and the price of octane in gasoline if it continues.

Above-average hurricane activity disrupted U.S. energy infrastructure in 2024
Above-average hurricane activity disrupted U.S. energy infrastructure in 2024

The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, which ran from June 1 through November 30, exhibited above-average activity with more named storms and hurricanes than usual, including several that disrupted U.S. energy infrastructure, primarily on the Gulf Coast and in the Southeast. Energy impacts from hurricanes this season were most notable in electricity markets, although Hurricanes Francine, Helene, and Rafael forced some oil and natural gas production from fields in the Gulf of Mexico to be shut in.

What is the shoulder season in electricity markets?
What is the shoulder season in electricity markets?

Electricity consumption in the U.S. Lower 48 states is highly seasonal; the demand for electricity peaks in the summer and the winter in response to more extreme temperatures and decreases in the spring and fall, in the so-called shoulder seasons, when weather is generally milder. Electric utilities and owners of power-generating assets perform maintenance on power plants during shoulder seasons because of less electricity demand that means that the system generally doesn't need to be operating at full capacity.

I just recently, very recently installed a solar-panel system using the services of a Florida based company. I live in a suburb of Phoenix called Surprise. I've been looking at solar systems over the past 5 to 6 years and finally took the bit in my mouth to purchase a system. Like with most purchases made these days, the company that you bought the product from soon asks that you provide some feedback and give them some kind of rating.
