U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) state electricity rates and generation mix
Colton Ridgeway leads how EnergyProfile reads and presents U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) state electricity data. The role decides which EIA series and data vintage each state page uses — retail prices by residential, commercial, and industrial sector from the EIA Open Data API, and the generation mix by fuel type from the State Electricity Profiles and Form 861 utility survey — documents the methodology, and triages corrections. Rate, generation-mix, and consumption figures are drafted with AI assistance and editorially reviewed against the underlying EIA releases, and every value links back to its source.
