Abstract: EIA has administered Form EIA-846, Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey, as a quadrennial product since 1988. Given the rapidly evolving energy-intensive economic landscape, EIA is initiating a narrower but more frequent data collection, the Annual Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey, Form EIA-847. This new form would supplement the quadrennial collection with a subset of data covering the intervening years. Form EIA-847, consisting of approximately 60 questions pulled from more than 250 questions in Form EIA-846, will ask about energy purchases, expenditures, transfers in and shipments out, onsite produced, fuel, and non fuel use of 5 widely used energy sources in the U.S. manufacturing sector.

Short Statement: The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment. EIA is required to publish, and otherwise make available independent, high-quality statistical data to federal government agencies, state and local governments, the energy industry, researchers, and the general public. To meet this obligation, EIA utilizes Form EIA-847, Annual Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (AMECS), to collect data on manufacturing energy consumption and expenditures within the United States. The AMECS fulfills multiple needs and requirements for analysis at DOE. It is the only annual national survey on energy consumption of the six most energy-intensive manufacturing subsectors that is statistically reliable. Data obtained from the AMECS will serve as a major input into EIA’s National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) industrial models which are used to benchmark other government and non-government modeling systems. The results of the NEMS, as well as the Annual MECS data themselves, are used as inputs into national energy policy decisions and DOE research and development strategies as well as a broad range of conservation and renewable energy industrial programs.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,633,703
