Form EIA-860 Database
Annual Electric Generator Report
The EIA-860 is a generator level data file that includes specific
information about generators at electric power plants owned and operated
by electric utilities and nonutilities (including independent power
producers, combined heat and power producers, and other industrials).
The file contains generator-specific information such as initial date
of commercial operation, prime movers, generating capacity, energy
sources, status of existing and proposed generators, proposed changes
to existing generators, county and State location, ownership, and FERC
qualifying facility status. Starting in 2004, data are included on
the ability to use multi-fuels; specifically data on co-firing and
fuel switching. Data on the ability to use multi-fuels are not available
for previous years.
The 2006 data are compressed into a self-extracting (.exe) zip file
that expands into 10 .XLS files, including 2 files on the ability to
use multi-fuels. The files are UTILY06.XLS (Utility file), PLANTY06.XLS
(Plant file), GENY06.XLS (Existing generators), MFEXISTY06.XLS (Multi-fuel
data for existing generators), PRGENY06.XLS (proposed generators),
MFPROPY06.XLS (Multi-fuel data for proposed generators), PCGENY06.XLS
(Proposed changes to existing generators), OWNERY06.XLS (Owner file),
INTCON06.XLS (interconnection data), and LAYOUT.XLS (File description).
The 2001-2003 data are compressed into a self-extracting (.exe) zip file that expands into 6 DBF files: 1 company file (UTILYyy.DBF*), 1 plant file (PLANTYyy.DBF*), and 4 generator files (GENYyy.DBF*, PCGENYyy.DBF*, PRGENYyy.DBF* and OWNERYyy.DBF*) and an EXCEL layout file (Layout.xls).
*Note: Substitute the applicable year for "yy" in the file nam
