Frequently Asked Questions
Who do I contact to complain about high energy prices?
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is a policy-neutral statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). EIA is not the appropriate agency for expressing your concerns or opinions on government policy.
You may direct your questions and concerns to your elected State and Federal congressional representatives. Additionally, DOE is the lead Executive Branch Agency on energy policy matters. The DOE Office of Policy responds to letters from the public on behalf of the Secretary of Energy. To communicate your concerns related to energy policy, please write to:
Secretary Steven Chu
