The Energy Information Administration’s Jan. 12 Short-Term Energy Outlook remains subject to heightened levels of uncertainty because responses to COVID-19 continue to evolve. Reduced economic activity from the pandemic has caused a decline in 2020 energy demand and supply. The ongoing pandemic and the success of vaccination programs will continue to affect energy use in the future. After falling by 7.8% in 2020, EIA forecasts that total U.S. energy consumption will rise by 2.6% in 2021 and by 2.5% in 2022.
