Additional Details
The amount of energy sold to back to the grid. From 2007 - 2009 the data are reported as a lump sum of total energy dispatched by sector. After 2009, the data are broken down by sector and technology type.
Columns
EIA short code identifying a balancing authority. May include Canadian and Mexican BAs.
Total installed (nameplate) capacity, in megawatts.
The total amount of energy which the system can supply power before recharging is necessary, in megawatt-hours.
High level categorization of customer type (e.g., commercial, residential).
Number of customers.
Date reported.
Whether the reported information comes from the short form. In the case of form EIA 861, a shorter version of the form was created in 2012 to reduce respondent burden on smaller utilities and increase our processing efficiency.
The amount of electric energy sold back to the utility through the net metering application.
Two letter US state abbreviation.
Type of technology specific to EIA 861 distributed generation and net generation tables: ['backup', 'chp_cogen', 'combustion_turbine', 'fuel_cell', 'hydro', 'internal_combustion', 'other', 'pv', 'steam', 'storage_pv', 'storage_nonpv', 'all_storage', 'total', 'virtual_pv', 'virtual_pv_under_1mw', 'virtual_pv_over_1mw', 'wind'].
The EIA Utility Identification number.
The name of the utility.
Maturity of the source data published by EIA that is reflected in this record. EIA releases data incrementally over time, including monthly updates, annual year-to-date updates, provisional early releases of annual data, and final annual release data that is not expected to change further. Records sourced from multiple upstream EIA datasets may have no well defined data maturity. Records whose values have been inferred within PUDL will also have no data maturity.
