core_eia923__monthly_energy_storage
Monthly time series of energy consumed and discharged ("generated") by energy storage units.
- Most-recent data:
2025
- 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 923 -- Power Plant Operations Report (Schedule 3)
- Primary key:
plant_id_eia, report_date, prime_mover_code, energy_source_code
Usage Warnings
Date column arbitrarily uses the first of the month.
Additional Details
The total MWh discharged from the energy storage unit during the reporting period is the gross generation and the difference between gross generation and consumption is the net generation.
Columns
The unique six-digit facility identification number, also called an ORISPL, assigned by the Energy Information Administration.
Date reported.
Code for the type of prime mover (e.g. CT, CG)
A 2-3 letter code indicating the energy source (e.g. fuel type) associated with the record.
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.
Reported unit of measure for fuel.
Consumption for electric generation of the fuel type in physical unit.
Consumption of the fuel type in physical unit. Note: this is the total quantity consumed for both electricity and, in the case of combined heat and power plants, process steam production.
Gross electricity generation for the specified period in megawatt-hours (MWh).
Net electricity generation for the specified period in megawatt-hours (MWh).
