Usage Warnings

  • This table includes data from the pre-2021 CSV raw source as well as the newer 2021 through present XBRL raw source. We created the respondent_id_ferc714 field to blend disparate IDs from the CSV and XBRL data over time. See the core_ferc714__respondent_id table for links to the original source IDs.

  • There is a small handful of respondents (~11) that report more than 10 years and an even smaller handful that report less than 10 (~9).

  • 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.
