Overview

Plant-level monthly net generation and fuel consumption from EIA Form 923, the Power Plant Operations Report. Each record captures how much electricity a single utility-scale facility actually produced in a given month, broken out by energy source (fuel type) and prime mover, alongside the fuel it burned to do so — net and gross generation in MWh, physical fuel consumption, the consumption attributable to electricity generation, the equivalent heat input in MMBtu, and the average heat content of the fuel. Unlike nameplate inventories, this is realized output, so it is the standard reference for what plants really generated over time and how efficiently they ran. The plant code is the ORISPL/EIA plant id, the same join key used by the EIA-860 generator inventory, so realized monthly generation here joins directly to a plant's capacity, technology, location, and ownership in eia860. History runs back to 2001. EIA restates recent months as late survey data arrives, so the table is bitemporal: bronze is append-only and silver keeps the latest vintage per plant-month-fuel.
