Power Plants in the U.S.

Power Plants in the U.S. This feature layer, utilizing data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), depicts all operable electric generating plants by energy source in the U.S. This includes plants that are operating, on standby, or short- or long-term out of service. The data covers all plants with a combined nameplate capacity of 1 MW (Megawatt) or more. Per EIA, "The United States uses many different energy sources and technologies to generate electricity. The sources and technologies have changed over time, and some are used more than others. The three major categories of energy for electricity generation are fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), nuclear energy, and renewable energy sources. Most electricity is generated with steam turbines using fossil fuels, nuclear, biomass, geothermal, and solar thermal energy. Other major electricity generation technologies include gas turbines, hydro turbines, wind turbines, and solar photovoltaics."

美国境内电厂数据集。
本要素图层采用美国能源信息署（Energy Information Administration，EIA）公开数据，按能源类型分类展示美国境内所有可运行发电电厂，涵盖处于运行、待命状态，或短期、长期停运的电厂。数据覆盖总铭牌容量达到1兆瓦（Megawatt，MW）及以上的全部电厂。
据EIA官方表述："美国依托多种能源与技术开展电力生产。能源类型与发电技术随时间迭代演进，不同技术的应用占比亦存在差异。电力生产的三大核心能源类别为化石燃料（煤炭、天然气与石油）、核能及可再生能源。绝大多数电力通过蒸汽轮机生产，所用能源涵盖化石燃料、核能、生物质能、地热能与太阳能光热能源。其他主流电力生产技术包括燃气轮机、水轮机、风力涡轮机及太阳能光伏发电。"
