eGRID

The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive 

source of data on the environmental characteristics of almost all electric power generated in 

the United States. These environmental characteristics include:

air emissions for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous 

oxide; 

emissions rates;

net generation; 

resource mix; and 

many other attributes.

eGRID data can be used to support the following activities:

greenhouse gas registries and inventories, 

carbon footprinting, 

consumer information disclosure, 

development of emissions inventories and emission standards, 

analysis of changing power markets, and 

estimation of avoided emissions.
