Usage Warnings
FERC data is notoriously difficult to extract cleanly, and often contains free-form strings, non-labeled total rows and lack of IDs. See Notable Irregularities for details.
Additional Details
FERC does not assign IDs to plants, so each FERC 1 plant is identified by a utility_id_ferc1 and a plant_name_ferc1.
Columns
PUDL-assigned utility ID, identifying a FERC1 utility. This is an auto-incremented ID and is not expected to be stable from year to year.
Name of the plant, as reported to FERC. This is a freeform string, not guaranteed to be consistent across references to the same plant.
A manually assigned PUDL plant ID. May not be constant over time.
