Description

Annual entries for electric power generation plants in EIA form 860 over the years 2013-2020.

Utility ID, Utility Name

Unique identification codes and names of the electricity utilities.

Plant Code, Plant Name

EIA-assigned plant code

County

County Name

,

Latitude, Longitude

Physical location of each plant, including address and geographic coordinates.

NERC Region

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

Balancing Authority Code

A 5-character code for the balancing authority managing supply, demand, and interchanges within an electrically defined area. May or may not be the same as the Owner of Transmission/Distribution Facilities.

Balancing Authority Name

Name of Balancing Authority

Name of Water Source

The name of the principal source from which cooling water or water for generating power for hydroelectric plants is obtained. If #'water is from an underground aquifer, provide name of aquifer, if known. If name of 'aquifer is not known, “Wells.” “Municipality” if the water is from a municipality. “UNK” for planned facilities for which the water source is not known. “NA” for plants that do not use a water source for cooling or hydroelectric generation.

Primary Purpose (NAICS Code)

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.

Regulatory Status

Indicates whether the plant is regulated (RE) or non-regulated (NR)

Sector

Plant-level sector name, designated by the primary purpose, regulatory status and plant-level combined heat and power status.Options include Commercial, Electric Utility, Industrial, Non-CHP Independent Power Producer (IPP), CHP IPP.

Sector Name

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