This is an electric utility data file that includes information on type of fuel purchase, fuel cost, fuel type, fuel origin, fuel quantity and fuel quality. Data source is survey FERC Form No.423: "Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants." The .dbf data are compressed into a self-extracting (.exe) zip file that expands into 2 DBF files (CORDANT.DBF and F423YYYY.DBF) and an ASCII "readme"-type file containing the file layout (F423FILE.LAY). To expand the file, type F423yy.EXE^* from a DOS window or double click on the file name from either File Manager in Windows 3x, Windows Explorer in Windows 95 (requires 3 megs space). The Excel file only contains a data file. To obtain the associated CORDANT and Layout files, refer to .dbf instructions above. Usually, the current year's file will be a "year-to-date" file until the data for the final month is finalized. Until that time the file name includes a "P" after the year to designate "preliminary".
