### OVERVIEW DATA ANALYSIS & PROJECTIONS



## Form EIA-860 detailed data with previous form data (EIA-860A/860B)

Release Date: August 11, 2015 for Early Release 201 4 data Next Release Date: October 2015 for Final 2014 data



### The survey Form EIA-860 collects generator-level sp ecific information about existing and planned generators and associated environmental equipment a t electric power plants with 1 megawatt or greater of combined nameplate capacity. Summary level data can be found in the Electric Power Annual

. Detailed data are compressed (zip) and contain the following files: LayoutYyy– Provides a directory of all (published) data ele ments collected on the Form EIA-860 together with the related description, specific fil e location(s), and, where appropriate, an explanati on of codes. 1___UtilityYyyyy- Contains utility-level data for the plants and g enerators surveyed in the reporting year. 2___PlantYyyyy - Contains plant-level data for the generators sur veyed in all available years. 3_1_GeneratorYyy – Contains generator-level data for the surveyed ge nerators, split into three tabs. The "Operable" tab includes those generators which are currently operating, out of service or on standby; The "Proposed" tab includes those generators which are planned and not yet in operation; and The "Retired and Canceled" tab includes those gener ators which were cancelled prior to completion and operation and retired generators at existing plants. 3_2_WindYyyyy– Contains additional details for surveyed generat ors that use wind as an energy source, split into two tabs: The "Operable" tab includes those generators which are currently operating, out of service or on standby; and The "Retired and Canceled" tab includes those gener ators which were cancelled prior to completion and operation and retired generators at existing plants. 3_3_SolarYyyyy - Contains additional details for surveyed generato rs that use solar as an energy source, split into two tabs: The "Operable" tab includes those generators which are currently operating, out of service or on standby; The "Retired and Canceled" tab includes those gener ators which were cancelled prior to completion and operation and retired generators at existing plants. 3_4_MultiFuelYyyyy – Contains data on fuel-switching and the use of m ultiple fuels by surveyed generators, split into three tabs: The "Operable" tab includes those generators which are currently operating, out of service or on standby; and The "Proposed" tab includes those generators which are planned and not yet in operation; and The "Retired and Canceled" tab includes those gener ators which were cancelled prior to completion and operation and retired generators at existing plants. 4___OwnerYyyyy– Contains owner and/or operator data for generato rs with shared ownership and generators that are wholly-owned by an entity otherthan the operator (generators not appearing in the file are wholly-owned by their operator). 6_1_EnviroAssocYyyyy – Contains boiler association data for the environ mental equipment data collected on the Form EIA-860. The "Boiler Generator" identifies which boilers are associated with each generator; The "Boiler Cooling" tab shows which cooling system s are associated with each boiler; The "Boiler Particulate Matter" tab shows which flu e gas particulate (FGP) collectors are associated with each boiler; The "Boiler SO2" tab shows which flue gas desulfuri zation (FGD) systems are associated with each boiler The "Boiler NOx" tab shows which nitrogen oxide con trol equipment is associated with each boiler; The "Boiler Mercury" tab shows which mercury contro l equipment is associated with each boiler The "Boiler Stack Flue" tab shows which stacks and flues are associated with each boiler; and The “Emissions Control Equipment” tab shows the ope rational status, in-service date, and installation costs of all the environmental equipme nt. 6_2_EnviroEquipYyyyy – Contains environmental equipment data for the su rveyed generators. The "Emission Standards & Strategies" tab shows boi ler data as collected on Schedule 6, Part B of the Form EIA-860; The "Boiler Info & Design Parameters" tab shows boi ler data as collected on Schedule 6, Part C; The "Cooling" tab shows cooling system data as coll ected on Schedule 6, Part D; The "FGP" tab shows FGP data as collected on Schedu le 6, Part E; The "FGD" tab shows FGD data as collected on Schedu le 6, Part F; and Year format 2014 Early Release ZIP 2013 ZIP 2012 ZIP 2011 ZIP 2010 ZIP 2009 ZIP 2008 ZIP 2007 ZIP 2006 ZIP 2005 ZIP 2004 ZIP 2003 ZIP 2002 ZIP 2001 ZIP
