Electricity Data and Statistics Application Programming Interface (API)
Monthly, quarterly, and annual data on electricity generation, consumption, retail sales, price, revenue from retail sales, useful thermal output, fossil fuel stocks, fossil fuel receipts, and quality of fossil fuel. Data organized by fuel type, i.e., coal petroleum, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, solar, geothermal, and wood. Also, data organized by sector, i.e., electric power, electric utility, independent power producers, commercial, and industrial. Users of the EIA API are required to obtain an API Key via this registration form: http://www.eia.gov/beta/api/register.cfm
