Direct Federal Financial Interventions and Subsidies in Energy in Fiscal Year 2013 - U S Energy Information Administration - Bog

This report responds to a September 2014 request to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) from U.S. Representative Fred Upton, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and U.S. Representative Ed Whitfield, Chairman of its Subcommittee on Energy and Power for an update using Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 data of two earlier EIA reports that provided a snapshot of direct federal financial interventions and subsidies in energy during FY 2007 and FY 2010. The report provides data on federal programs specifically targeted at energy markets that provide a financial benefit and have an identifiable federal budget impact. As requested, the report focuses on subsidies to electricity production and also includes subsidies to federal electric utilities in the form of financial support.
