Abstract:
The electric power surveys collect data from entities involved in the production, transmission, delivery, and sale of electricity, and in maintaining the reliable operation of the power system. The EIA-63B survey collects data from companies involved in the photovoltaic industry; e.g. manufacturing, shipping, importing, and exporting. This survey is the primary source of information on this energy industry segment. The data collected are the primary source of information on the nation’s electric power industry. 11-09-2020: nonsubstantive change submitted. The change involves adding Hydrogen to one of the survey menu lists. This is in response to electricity generators increasingly using hydrogen to supplement current fuel sources.
