net_generation

Description

Net monthly electricity generation in MWh over the years 2012-2020. From EIA Form 923, Page 4.

PlantID

EIA-assigned plant code

Combined Heat and Power

Indicates whether the generator is associated with a combined heat and power system (Yes/No)

Plant

Plant name

Operator

Is the reporting entity an operator of power plants reported on Schedule 2 of the form?

OperatorID

ID of operator

State

State for owner

CensusRegion

Census Region

NERCRegion

North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)region in which the plant operates

NAICS

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 'that best describes the primary purpose of the plant.Electric utility plants and independent power producers whose primary purpose is generating electricity for sale will generally use code 22. For generators whose primary business is an industrial or commercial process (e.g., paper mills, refineries, chemical plants, etc.) and for which generating electricity is a secondary purpose, use a code other than 22.

SectorNumber

Plant-level sector number, designated by the primary purpose, regulatory status, and plant-level combined heat and power status:

Number	Description
1	Electric Utility
2	Independent Power Producer, Non-Combined Heat and Power
3	Independent Power Producer, Combined Heat and Power
4	Commercial, Non-Combined Heat and Power
5	Commercial, Combined Heat and Power
6	Industrial, Non-Combined Heat and Power
7	Industrial, Combined Heat and Power

Sector

Plant-level sector name, designated by the primary purpose, regulatory status and plant-level combined heat and power status

GeneratorID

Generator identification number
