core_eia861__yearly_net_metering_misc

package: pudl

Annual time series of PV current flow type for net metered capacity.

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
balancing_authority_code_eia

EIA short code identifying a balancing authority. May include Canadian and Mexican BAs.

pv_current_flow_type

Current flow type for photovoltaics: AC or DC

report_date

Date reported.

state

Two letter US state abbreviation.

utility_id_eia

The EIA Utility Identification number.

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.

core_eia861__yearly_non_net_metering_misc

package: pudl

Annual time series of non-net metered distributed generation generators, pv current flow type, backup capacity and utility owned capacity.

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.

Additional Details

This table's data starts in 2016. For 2015 and earlier, data similar to that found in this table can be found in core_eia861__yearly_distributed_generation_misc.

The raw EIA861 distributed generation (DG) table (split into three normalized tables in PUDL) was renamed in 2016 to Non-Net Metering to prevent double counting. The data in the Non-Net Metering table (2016+) are split by sector, contain fuel cell information, and convert capacity reported in DC units to AC units.

Columns
backup_capacity_mw

The total nameplate capacity of generators that are used only for emergency backup service.

balancing_authority_code_eia

EIA short code identifying a balancing authority. May include Canadian and Mexican BAs.

generators_number

Total number of generators

pv_current_flow_type

Current flow type for photovoltaics: AC or DC

report_date

Date reported.

state

Two letter US state abbreviation.

utility_id_eia

The EIA Utility Identification number.

utility_owned_capacity_mw

Total non-net-metered capacity owned by the respondent.

data_maturity

Maturity of the source data published by EIA that is reflected in this record.
