About this data

Monthly energy prices in the United States, published by the Energy Information Administration in the Monthly Energy Review (Chapter 9), measure crude oil acquisition costs for refiners, retail prices for gasoline and diesel, natural gas prices by customer category, retail electricity prices by end-use sector, fuel costs for power plants, and crude oil imports by country of origin, covering both landed and FOB prices.

Frequently asked questions

What does the US Monthly Energy Prices table measure?
It measures average retail electricity prices paid by final consumers in the United States across residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors, alongside crude oil and natural gas prices.
How often is the US Monthly Energy Prices data published and how far back does it go?
The data is published monthly by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in the Monthly Energy Review, with historical records extending back to 1973.
What breakdowns are available in this dataset?
The dataset includes crude oil acquisition costs, retail gasoline and diesel prices, natural gas prices by consumer group, and retail electricity prices by sector.
How should electricity price differentials between consumer groups be interpreted?
Rate differentials reflect structural cost-of-service characteristics, with residential users paying higher rates due to low consumption volumes distributed across low-voltage metering infrastructure compared to industrial users.
