§18776 Expansion of international energy data

Summary

Within 1 year after November 15, 2021, the Administrator must expand and improve the Energy Information Administration’s international energy data. The data must help show how countries produce and use energy, how those patterns are changing, the relative costs and environmental effects, and plans or construction of major energy projects or infrastructure. To do this, the Administrator must work with the International Energy Agency, add details on energy use by fuel, by economic sector, and by end use where data exist, collect measures like cost and how much pollution is produced per unit of energy, and make tools that let people easily compare countries.
