Overview

The underlying data is authored by the Energy Information Administration and distributed through the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) catalog, serving as the geographic companion to the EIA-860 generator inventory. It lets anyone place the generating fleet on a map and ask where capacity sits, what fuels it runs on, and who operates it, which is the starting point for siting studies, fuel-mix analysis, interconnection context, and resource-adequacy work.

Dataset	Description
SubstationsHIFLD · snapshot	A point-level inventory of electric substations across the United States, drawn from the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) program. Each record locates a substation and describes its name, city and county, voltage class (minimum and maximum kV), the number of transmission lines connecting to it, its type, and its operating status. Substations are the nodes where voltage is stepped up or down and where transmission and distribution meet, so this dataset lets operators, planners, traders, and researchers see where the grid's switching and transformation points sit, gauge the relative importance of a node by its voltage and line count, and tie generation and load to the network that connects them.
Transmission LinesHIFLD · snapshot	This dataset maps the physical transmission backbone of the US power grid as polyline geometry, tracing each line from one substation endpoint to the other. Each segment carries attributes including the owning utility and a voltage class, distinguishing the high-voltage bulk transmission corridors from lower-voltage feeders. With it you can see how regions interconnect, identify the major paths that move power across long distances, and reason about constraints, interties, and where new generation or load would need to tie in. The source is the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data (HIFLD) electric power transmission lines layer.
BPA Anemometer TowersBPA · daily	BPA's anemometer towers with coordinates, elevation and sensor heights, active and retired.
BPA Interconnection QueueBPA · daily snapshot	BPA's public large-generator interconnection queue, with requested capacity, technology, county and state, proposed point of interconnection, BPA's status, and agreed in-service dates. Each posting is a snapshot: current totals must use one latest snapshot, and requested queue MW is not operating capacity, available transmission headroom, completed study work, or evidence that a project will be built. BPA runs line and load requests as a separate queue, held in interconnection_queue.bpat_load.
