The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) releases the Annual Energy Outlook 2023 with projections to 2050, exploring long-term energy trends in the United States. The report includes different cases with varying assumptions, such as economic growth, oil prices, and zero-carbon technology costs. It also highlights the Inflation Reduction Act and its implications on energy systems. However, certain IRA provisions were not included in the outlook due to modeling challenges and alignment issues.

  2. What does EIA do? The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy. EIA is the nation's premier source of energy information. By law, our data, analyses, and forecasts are independent of approval by any other officer or employee of the U.S. government. Our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 explores long-term energy trends in the United States. AEO2023 Release, RFF March 16, 2023 2

  3. Whats new in the 2023 Annual Energy Outlook? A focus on the narrative Technical notes Emphasis on the range of results New combination cases AEO2023 Release, RFF March 16, 2023 3

  4. The AEO2023 includes cases that vary technical and economic assumptions, including combination cases that extend the bounds of uncertainty All cases reflect current laws and regulations as of November 2022, including the Inflation Reduction Act. Reference 1.9% annual GDP growth; Brent = $101 per barrel (b) in 2050 Economic Growth Low: 1.4% annual GDP growth High: 2.3% Oil Price Low: Brent = $51/b in 2050 High: Brent = $190/b in 2050 Oil and Gas Supply Low: 50% lower oil and gas resource recovery and 50% higher drilling costs relative to the Reference case High: 50% higher oil and gas resource recovery and 50% lower drilling costs relative to the Reference case Zero-Carbon Technology Cost (electric power sector) Low: About 40% reduction in cost by 2050 High: No reduction in costs Combination Combinations of Economic Growth and Zero-Carbon Technology Cost cases AEO2023 Release, RFF March 16, 2023 4

  5. AEO2023 Issues in Focus: Inflation Reduction Act Inflation Reduction Act Issues in Focus released today No IRA case High Uptake case Low Uptake case Detailed IRA assumptions available on the AEO website AEO2023 Release, RFF March 16, 2023 5

  6. IRA-related caveats to keep in mind The IRA contains a complex package of incentives, many of which are challenging to model. We do not explicitly include certain IRA provisions in AEO2023 for three general reasons: Guidance is not yet available on how a provision will be enacted or how agencies will implement it. Provisions requiring significant model modifications that were not possible to implement this year. Provisions that do not align with our analytic resolution, for example energy communities. As a result, all energy system impacts of the IRA are not represented in AEO2023. We have documented our modeling assumptions related to all IRA provisions, which are available with today s AEO2023 release. We will refine our estimates over time as IRA implementation details become available and we update our modeling capability. AEO2023 Release, RFF March 16, 2023 6

  7. AEO2023 Highlights Energy-related CO2 emissions fall across all AEO2023 cases because of increased electrification, higher equipment efficiencies, and more zero-carbon electricity generation. Renewable generating capacity grows in all regions of the United States in all AEO2023 cases, supported by growth in installed battery capacity. Technological advancements and electrification drive projected decreases in demand- side energy intensity. The United States remains a net exporter of petroleum products and of natural gas through 2050 in all AEO2023 cases. AEO2023 Release, RFF March 16, 2023 7
