美国能源信息署(EIA)能源统计信息系统介绍

Introduction to the EIA's Energy Statistical Information System

能源信息署（Energy Information Administration，EIA）是隶属于美国能源部的统计机构，成立于1977年。EIA的使命是：提供高质量的、独立于政策的能源信息，满足政府、业界和公众对能源信息的需求，促进政策的完善、市场运行效率的提高以及公众的理解，促进能源、经济与环境的协调发展。EIA依照美国相关法律，全面收集、分析并发布能源信息，特别是能源统计信息，内容涵盖能源储量、生产、需求、价格、相关财务资料和能源技术等方面。

The Energy Information Administration was founded in 1977 as a federal statistics institution under the U.S. Department of Energy.Its mission is to provide high quality,policy-independent energy information to meet the requirements of Government,industry,and the public in a manner that promotes sound policymaking,efficient markets,and public understanding,as well as coordinated development of energy,the economy and the environment. In accordance with U.S.law,the EIA collects,analyzes and releases comprehensive energy information, particularly statistical information,covering such aspects as energy reserves,production,demand,price,financial information and technology.The EIA's highly effective energy statistical information system has become an important component of the U.S.energy forecast and pre- warning system.As both an energy-producing and energy- consuming nation,China would do well to speed up the completion of its own energy statistics,forecast and early-warning systems by examining the United States' construction and management experiences.To this end, the authors provide a brief introduction to the EIA's Energy Statistical Information System,based on visits to the EIA and its website.
