core_eia861__yearly_distribution_systems

package: pudl

Annual time series of distribution circuits and circuits with voltage optimization by state.

Most-recent data:

2024

Processing:

Data has been cleaned and organized into well-modeled tables that serve as building blocks for downstream wide tables and analyses.

Source:

EIA Form 861 -- Annual Electric Power Industry Report

Primary key:

This table has no primary key.

Columns
circuits_with_voltage_optimization

Number of distribution circuits that employ voltage/VAR optimization (VVO).

distribution_circuits

Total number of distribution circuits.

report_date

Date reported.

short_form

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.

state

Two letter US state abbreviation.

utility_id_eia

The EIA Utility Identification number.

utility_name_eia

The name of the utility.

data_maturity

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.
