Ask the Grid

Overview

A plant-level inventory of US electric generating facilities, with one record per plant carrying its operator, location (latitude and longitude), primary fuel, and installed capacity broken out by fuel type. 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.
