Monthly Electric Utility Sales And Revenue By State And Sector

Department of Energy data provides utility-level retail electricity sales and associated revenue. Records are organized by reporting month, state, and end-use sectors including residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation. The dataset is based on Form EIA-826 submissions.

Use Cases

• Analyze monthly revenue trends across residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors by state
• Model electricity sales volume by end-use sector to forecast seasonal demand patterns
• Compare state-level retail sales data to identify regional consumption differences
• Calculate average revenue per unit sold by correlating sales and revenue figures for each sector

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Department of Energy and Form EIA-826
• Provides a breakdown by four distinct end-use sectors for granular analysis
• Includes both sales volume and associated revenue metrics for financial modeling

Limitations

• The dataset's last update was in July 2021, indicating potential staleness for current analysis
• Specific sample size, row count, and column details are unknown, limiting assessment of scale and features
• Lack of visible sample data or column definitions obscures data structure and potential quality issues
