# US Power Plant Registry (EIA-860, 2023)

This dataset contains a curated and cleaned registry of 15,068 U.S. electric power plants derived from the 2023 EIA Form 860.
It aggregates plant-level attributes and generator-level characteristics for use in energy analytics, climate impact studies, infrastructure planning, and machine-learning applications.

## Contents

Each record represents a single power plant.

### Variables

| Column | Description |
| ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| plant_code | Unique numeric identifier assigned by EIA |
| plant_name | Full plant name |
| utility_name | Utility or company that operates the plant |
| street_address | Physical address |
| city | City of plant |
| state | Two-letter state code |
| zip | Postal ZIP code |
| county | County |
| latitude | Latitude (WGS84) |
| longitude | Longitude (WGS84) |
| sector_name | Sector category (e.g., Electric Utility, IPP, Commercial) |
| sector | Numeric sector code from EIA |
| balancing_authority_code | Grid balancing authority code |
| balancing_authority_name | Balancing authority name |
| total_capacity_mw | Sum of nameplate capacity of all generators at the plant |
| technologies | Comma-separated list of generator technologies |
| primary_fuel | Dominant fuel type |
| prime_movers | Generator prime mover classes |
