Colorado Energy Data

Colorado is an important contributor to the Nation’s energy supply. It ranks 7th among the States in the production of natural gas, 10th in crude oil, and 12th in coal. Not surprising, it relies primarily on petroleum, coal, and natural gas for its own energy requirements. Colorado’s electric utilities run almost exclusively on coal; very small amounts of hydroelectricity and natural gas account for the rest of the power. While the average price paid for petroleum products in the State ranks 6th in the Nation, the State’s total energy expenditure per person is low, ranking 48th in the Nation.

The following Energy Data has been collected by the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration.  The links below will take you to the EIA's web site where the data is stored.
