Ownership basisHow a generator's owners were established: from EIA-860's ownership schedule (reported), from EIA's rule that a unit absent from a complete schedule is wholly owned by its operator (derived), or unknown.Definition ↗
OwnerAn organization with a reported share of a generator. Owned MW applies that share to operating nameplate capacity; it does not establish who buys the output.Definition ↗Municipally-owned utilityCity of Spokane ↗

Generators at this plant
Unscaled nameplateA generator’s rated maximum power, in MW. Capacity is a rating, not how much electricity it produced.Definition ↗
5 generators, including non-operating units where reported. Status is the inventory-year status.

CO2 filed by EPA-monitored units
2024
This plant has no coal, gas, oil or waste generator, so it has no combustion unit for EPA to monitor and no CEMS data exists. That is not a claim of zero emissions: the atlas reports only what EPA-monitored units filed. Source
Latest inventoryThe newest complete monthly inventory, with dated status and capacity changes beside the annual baseline totals.Definition ↗ · August 2026
Operating
No confirmed status or capacity changes among comparable units. Missing monthly assertions and units outside the baseline have no like-for-like comparison.
Operating nameplate capacity, latest inventoryOperating nameplate MW in this monthly inventory. Compare it with the annual baseline; do not add the two inventories together.Definition ↗
17.6MW
· provisional
Source & method
Sum of nameplate MW over generators whose current-valid EIA-860M workbook assertion has status OP; dated by the complete inventory edition; never added to the baseline aggregate
Planned nameplate capacity, latest inventoryNameplate MW proposed or under construction in this monthly inventory, separate from operating MW. Planned dates are forecasts.Definition ↗
Not applicable
· provisional
Source & method
Sum of nameplate MW over generators whose current-valid EIA-860M workbook assertion is a proposal or construction stage (P, L, T, U, V, OT, TS); a proposal is not a commitment and its date is a forecast
Retired or cancelled nameplate capacity, latest inventory
Not applicable

Sum of nameplate MW over generators whose current-valid EIA-860M workbook assertion is retired, cancelled or indefinitely postponed (RE, CN, IP); retired is not demolished
Each unit's operating span from its reported operating date to its retirement date or to the August 2026 inventory (the vertical line). Dashed spans start at a planned operating date, a forecast; a short bar marks a planned retirement. Standby and out-of-service units are hatched.

A crosswalk of identifiers, not attributes: the HILARRI row id and its GRanD, NHDPlusV2 flowline and HUC12 ids are republished for reviewed rows only. HILARRI's own quality flags are kept on each row; a link is not a reservoir volume, a flow or a generation series.

The NID id and dam name identify the structure the plant sits at, as HILARRI links it and the 2026-09-11 export confirms it. NID purposes are recorded on the row as the inventory states them (Grand Coulee's NID record lists no hydroelectric purpose). Dam height, storage and hazard fields are not loaded.
