Return to SearchAnnual time series of costs of net energy generated by plant.
- Most-recent data:
2021
- Processing:
Data has been expanded into a wide/denormalized format, with IDs and codes accompanied by human-readable names and descriptions.
- Source:
USDA RUS Form 12 -- Financial and Operating Report: Electric Power Supply (Part F - Section D)
- Primary key:
This table has no primary key. This table has no primary key because there is one plant (Walter Scott) that has duplicate records every year. Based on other RUS-12 tables, it is likely that these duplicate records are the borrowers' ownership portion of the plant as well as the total plant but there is no clear indication in this table.
The primary key of this table otherwise would be: ['report_date', 'borrower_id_rus', 'plant_name_rus', 'cost_group', 'cost_type'].
Usage Warnings
Some columns contain subtotals; use caution when choosing columns to aggregate.
Borrower name data has been drawn from reported values over multiple years and tables of data which are not always consistent with each other. PUDL chooses the most consistent borrower name to facilitate cross-referencing even if that means some values will differ from the raw sources.
Additional Details
The cost column in this table is expected to be largely non-null, the cost_per_mwh and cost_per_mmbtu columns only apply to some cost_type's and even plant_type's and thus are expected to contain many nulls.
