NOTE: The U.S. Energy Information Administration data call used to generate many of the charts on this page is non-operational at this time. No information is available as to restoration time. In the interim, please consult the Missouri Energy Bulletin Data Crosswalk Spreadsheet or any of the other referenced resources on this page for alternative data sources.

Welcome to the Missouri Energy Bulletin Data Tool. Like the Energy Data Dashboard, this webpage is designed as a tool to provide access to external energy data. This tool includes links to information previously provided in the Missouri Energy Bulletin, as well as data on hourly electricity demand and statistics about regional electricity supplies from resources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy and renewables. All data within this tool are provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). As EIA updates its data, these charts are updated automatically. This may lead to issues with visualizations if, for example, only some data are updated. Please refer to EIA for technical documentation.

Review the crosswalk spreadsheet for additional information on how to access data previously provided through the Missouri Energy Bulletin.

Crude Oil and Petroleum Products

For additional data, refer to This Week in Petroleum and the Weekly Petroleum Status Report, which are products provided by EIA. Note: "SPR" stands for "Strategic Petroleum Reserve."

Gasoline

Visit AAA and fueleconomy.gov for access to information about Missouri gasoline prices. The Missouri Energy Bulletin provides data on prices for E-85 (conventional motor fuel containing 51-83% ethanol). Additional data are available from This Week in Petroleum and the Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update, both of which include information provided by EIA.

Diesel and Distillate Fuel Oil

Visit AAA for access to information about Missouri diesel price averages by city and county. The Missouri Energy Bulletin provides data on prices for B-20 (diesel fuel containing 6-20% biodiesel). Additional data are available from This Week in Petroleum and the Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update, both of which include information provided by EIA.

Natural Gas and Heating/Cooling Degree-Days

According to the most recent House Heating Fuel data from the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 50% (1,229,138) of Missouri households use natural gas to heat their homes. Natural gas is also used to produce goods and electricity. Additional data are available from the Natural Gas Weekly Update and the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report, both of which include information provided by EIA. Refer also to the Missouri Public Service Commission’s Natural Gas Report.

Heating degree days (HDD) are used to estimate energy consumption associated with cold weather events. Cooling degree days (CDD) are used to estimate energy consumption associated with hot weather events.

Propane

According to the most recent House Heating Fuel data from the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 8.5% (209,032) of Missouri households use propane to heat their homes. Propane is also used to support commercial operations, produce goods, dry grain harvests and fuel vehicles.

The Missouri Energy Bulletin provides data on monthly propane prices during the non-heating season (April-September). Additional data are available from This Week in Petroleum and the Winter Propane Market Update, both of which include information provided by EIA.

Electricity

EIA provides preliminary data on hourly electricity demand, generation and interchange for the Midcontinent Independent System Operator Inc. (MISO), Southwest Power Pool (SPP), Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. (AECI) and Southwestern Power Administration. These entities are balancing authorities that operate in Missouri. Generation data are provided by type of resource, e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear energy and renewables. Additional data on electricity grid operations are available from EIA's Hourly Electric Grid Monitor.
