out_ferc714__hourly_estimated_state_demand
Hourly time series of estimated electricity demand for each state, scaled such that it matches the total electricity sales by state reported in EIA 861.

Usage Warnings
Contains estimated values.
Contains information from multiple raw inputs.
Large table; do not attempt to open with Excel.
Contains information from multiple raw inputs.
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.
Additional Details
This table uses hourly electricity demand and information about service territories to estimate the total hourly electricity demand for each US state. Hourly demand is drawn from the FERC 714, which reports at the balancing authority and utility level. Service territories for utilities and balancing authorities are inferred from information in the EIA 861, including the counties served by each utility and the utilities that make up each balancing authority.
This table uses the total electricity sales by state reported in the EIA 861 as a scaling factor to ensure that the magnitude of electricity sales is roughly correct, and obtains the shape of the demand curve from the hourly planning area demand reported in the FERC 714.
This table includes the state FIPS codes - see out_censusdp1tract__states for additional information about FIPS state codes.
Columns
Two digit state FIPS code.
Date and time converted to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
Electricity demand (energy) within a given timeframe.
Estimated electricity demand scaled by the total sales within a state.
