PUDL helps researchers, advocates, journalists, and policymakers understand the US energy system by making government data easier to use. It takes raw, complex spreadsheets and databases from agencies like EIA and EPA, cleans them, and provides them as unified, analysis-ready datasets. This saves you significant time in data preparation, letting you focus on uncovering insights.

577 stars. Actively maintained with 55 commits in the last 30 days.

Use this if you need consistent, high-quality US energy data for analysis without spending days cleaning and integrating disparate government sources.

Not ideal if you only need a single, small piece of US energy data that is already perfectly clean and readily available from its original source.
