The availability of comparative information about the true costs and benefits of DSM programs greatly increases the prospects for successful implementation of utility-sponsored demand-side management (DSM) programs. National governments have an important role to play in providing these data in a neutral and unbiased fashion. The beneficiaries include utilities, regulators, policymakers, equipment vendors, manufacturers, and researchers. This paper describes four DSM data collection programs, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy{\textquoteright}s Integrated Resource Planning Program and include: (1) the Database on Energy Programs (DEEP), (2) the Center for Electric End-Use Data (CEED), (3) annual DSM program reports by U.S. utilities, and (4) a triennial survey of residential, commercial, and manufacturing energy users. The last two data collection programs are carried out in conjunction with DOE{\textquoteright}s Energy Information Administration. The descriptions include types of data collected, intermediate analysis activities, and methods for disseminating information to users.
