US HB7607

Requires the Secretary of Energy to conduct a study on the validity, limitations, and alternatives to current "primary energy" indicators used in national energy accounting, with a report due to Congress within 18 months of enactment

Directs the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to develop, collect, and report on "incident energy" — the total energy entering conversion systems from natural sources before transformation losses occur — as a complement to existing primary energy statistics

Mandates EIA collect incident energy data through surveys or develop model-based estimates using information from National Laboratories, NASA, NOAA, and other federal entities including satellite imagery and remote sensing

Requires all incident energy data, assumptions, and methods be made publicly available in machine-readable formats alongside existing primary and final energy statistics for side-by-side comparison

Addresses congressional findings that historical energy measures designed for combustion-based fuels do not accurately capture the efficiency of noncombustion sources like solar and wind, obscuring trends in electrification and decarbonization
