I've been working on eRedux.com, a site that pulls together public energy data from EIA, Census Bureau, and EPA eGRID into one place. It covers all 50 states + DC, 3,143 counties, and 39,456 zip codes.
Each location page shows:
- Electricity rates by sector (residential, commercial, industrial) with national/state comparisons
- Heating fuel breakdown (natural gas, electric, propane, fuel oil, wood, solar)
- Power generation mix and grid cleanliness scores
- Energy burden estimates
- EV charger availability
- Rooftop solar potential (zip level)
All data comes from federal sources — mostly EIA-861, Census ACS, EPA eGRID, and DOE/NREL.
The idea was that most of this data exists but it's scattered across different agency sites and hard to compare across locations. Curious what this sub thinks — any data you'd want to see added?
