These data identify operable electric generating plants in the United States by energy source, as of November 2023.
The attribute data for this point dataset come from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, EIA-860, Annual Electric Generator Report; EIA-860M, Monthly Update to the Annual Electric Generator Report; and EIA-923, Power Plant Operations Report. It includes all operable plants by energy source with a combined nameplate capacity of 1 megawatt or more that are operating, are on standby, or out of service for short- or long-term.
In all cases, a credit line stating "Base Map Provided By The Mapping Section, Planning and Research Division, Arkansas Energy Information Administration, In Cooperation With The U.S. Government"
Individuals or companies may reproduce any maps prepared by the Planning and Research Division for their own use and can utilize the maps as a base map for other purposes.
