Annual Energy Outlook

The Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) is a report published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration that projects and analyzes future energy supply, demand, and technology trends over the coming decades. It considers various factors like economic growth, policies, technology advancements, and market developments to provide a comprehensive view of how energy resources—such as oil, natural gas, renewables, and electricity—may evolve. The AEO helps policymakers, businesses, and researchers understand potential scenarios, plan for changes, and make informed decisions related to energy production, consumption, and environmental impact.
