Overview

A generator-level inventory of every operable utility-scale electric generator in the United States, drawn from EIA Form 860. Each record describes one generating unit, including its nameplate capacity, technology and prime mover, primary energy source, operating status, owner or operator, balancing authority, and the latitude and longitude of its plant. It is the standard reference for understanding what physical generation exists on the grid, where it sits, and how it is fueled. Annual final filings give the authoritative year-end picture, while the monthly EIA-860M updates track newly proposed, added, and retired units between annual releases, making it useful for tracking the fleet's evolving capacity mix and the buildout of new resources.
