Listing of Publicly Available and Confidential Data
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) of the Department of Energy (DOE) is required to publish, and otherwise make available to the public, high-quality statistical data that reflect national electric supply and demand activity as accurately as possible. To meet this obligation, as well as internal DOE requirements for accurate data, the Electric Power Division of the EIA has developed statistical surveys that encompass each significant electric supply and demand activity in the United States. This site provides a list of EIA's electric power survey forms and a chart showing the required data elements for each of those forms and how each data element is treated in regard to confidentiality.
- EIA-411, "Coordinated Bulk Power Supply Program Report,"collects annual data on actual and projected energy and peak demand; existing and future generating capacity; historical data and projections of capacity, demand, purchases, sales, and scheduled maintenance; bulk power system maps; proposed transmission lines; and bulk transmission power flow cases. (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- EIA-412, "Annual Electric Industry Financial Report," collects annual accounting, financial, and operating and newly added transmission lines data from municipal, Federally-owned, and unregulated entities. (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- EIA-417R, "Electric Power Systems Emergency Report," collects information on electric power disturbances from alert notices. (Form and Instructions)
- EIA-423, "Monthly Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants Report," collects monthly cost and quality of fossil fuels delivered to unregulated entities with a total fossil fueled nameplate generating capacity of 50 megawatts or greater. (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- EIA-767, "Steam-Electric Plant Operation and Design Report," collects data on air and water quality from steam-electric plants. Information collected on this form is used to derive emission estimates. (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- EIA-826, "Monthly Electric Sales and Revenue with State Distributions Report," collects monthly data on revenue, sales, and number of consumers. (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- EIA-860, "Annual Electric Generator Report,"collects annual data on existing power plants of electric power producers and their 5-year plans for constructing new units and modifying and retiring units (formerly the Form EIA-860). (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- EIA-861, "Annual Electric Power Industry Report," collects annual electric utility data on electric sources and disposition, revenue, sales to ultimate consumers by State, demand side management, nonutilities in service area, and State/county for distribution system. (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- EIA-906, "Power Plant Report," collects data from electric generators on net generation; energy source consumption; end-of-month stocks of coal and petroleum; and useful thermal output from cogenerators for each plant by prime mover and energy source combination. (Form and Instructions - PDF file)
- FERC-1, "Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Others," collects financial data from regulated electric utilities.
- FERC-423, "Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants," collects data on the cost and quality of fuel used by regulated entities with a total fossil fueled nameplate generating capacity of 50 megawatts or greater.
- FERC-714, "Annual Electric Control and Planning Area Report," collects data on electric utility control and planning areas in the United States
-
FERC-715, "Annual Transmission Planning and
Evaluation Report," collects data on reliability criteria and transmission
planning assessment practices.
