EIA to undergo reorganization to better coordinate staff

摘要

The Energy Department division responsible for monitoring, analyzing and forecasting the state of energy prices, supplies and consumption in the US and the world plans to reorganize the way it does business to make it more flexible and effective, its chief said last week. The Energy Information Administration has long produced reports used by lawmakers in considering legislation and by energy traders in deciding what to invest. The agency's monthly Short Term Energy Outlook - which projects prices for energy commodities such as coal, oil, natural gas and gasoline - is a key mover of energy markets, and its statistics are often a standard for the industry.
