The EIA is the independent statistical and analytical agency within the US Department of Energy. Visitors to its web site can find current and projected data on crude oil, petroleum products, natural gas, coal, and electricity. Massachusetts state-level data is available. The State Energy Profiles page offers state-specific energy consumption, price, and expenditure estimates for residential, commercial, and industrial uses.
This is the only state Cabinet-level office in the country that oversees both environmental and energy agencies. In putting energy and environment under one roof a course is set toward a clean energy future. The agency responsibilities include: preservation of land and open space; enforcement of pollution laws, review the environmental impact of major real estate and infrastructure developments, and provide opportunities for outdoor recreation.
The Division of Energy Resources web site contains a host of information about Massachusetts energy policy, price surveys, and renewable energy resources.
