Annual time series of the cost, type, operating status, retirement date, and install year of emissions control equipment reported to EIA.
- Most-recent data:
2024
- Processing:
Data has been expanded into a wide/denormalized format, with IDs and codes accompanied by human-readable names and descriptions.
- Source:
EIA Form 860 -- Annual Electric Generator Report
- Primary key:
report_date, plant_id_eia, emission_control_id_pudl
Additional Details
Includes control ids for sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter, mercury, nitrogen oxide (NOX), and acid (HCl) gas monitoring.
This denormalized version includes plant name, utility id, pudl id, and utility name columns.
Columns
Date reported.
The unique six-digit facility identification number, also called an ORISPL, assigned by the Energy Information Administration.
A manually assigned PUDL plant ID. May not be constant over time.
Plant name.
The EIA Utility Identification number.
A manually assigned PUDL utility ID. May not be stable over time.
The name of the utility.
A PUDL-generated ID used to distinguish emission control units in the same report year and plant id. This ID should not be used to track units over time or between plants.
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.
Short code indicating the type of emission control equipment installed.
The operating status of the asset.
The operating status of the asset. For generators this is based on which tab the generator was listed in in EIA 860.
Mercury control identification number. This ID is not a unique identifier.
Nitrogen oxide control identification number. This ID is not a unique identifier.
Particulate matter control identification number. This ID is not a unique identifier.
Sulfur dioxide control identification number. This ID is not a unique identifier.
Indicates whether the emissions control equipment controls acid (HCl) gas.
The total cost to install a piece of emission control equipment.
The date a piece of emissions control equipment began operating. Derived from month and year columns in the raw data.
The expected or actual retirement date for a piece of emissions control equipment. Derived from month and year columns in the raw data.
