Uncertainties to remain in energy market due to COVID-19: EIA


By Gao Lu

HOUSTON, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Tuesday forecast that uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic will remain because mitigation and reopening efforts continue to evolve.

In its August Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), EIA said that reduced economic activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic has caused changes in energy demand and supply patterns in 2020. Uncertainties persist across the outlook for all energy sources, including liquid fuels, natural gas, electricity, coal, and renewables.
