Form EIA-860 Database
Annual Electric Generator Report

This is a generator level data file that includes specific information about generators in electric power plants owned and operated by electric utilities and nonutilities (including independent power producers and combined heat and power producers). The file contains generator-specific information such as initial date of commercial operation, generating capacity and energy sources. The data are compressed into a self-extracting (.exe) zip file that expands into 6 DBF files: 1 company file (UTILYyy.DBF*), 1 plant file (PLANTYyy.DBF*), and 4 generator files (GENYyy.DBF*, PCGENYyy.DBF*, PRGENYyy.DBF* and OWNERYyy.DBF*) and an EXCEL layout file (Layout.xls).

To expand the file, type F860Yyy.EXE* from a DOS window or double click on the file name from either File Manager in Windows 3x or Windows Explorer in either Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, XP, or ME. Or, click Start, then Run, then select name of .EXE file to open, then "OK." (Requires 8-9 megs space).

*Note: Substitute the applicable year for "yy" in the file name
