Data & definitions

Useful tools and reading, plus how to read and check the atlas.

Resources

Tools and reading we recommend for understanding electricity.

Data sources used by the atlas document the evidence behind published numbers.

  • Grid explorer

    Grid Status

    Explore electricity demand, generation and wholesale prices. Its EIA Browser brings balancing authorities outside organized markets into view, including the Northwest.

    Historical access and exports depend on the plan; coverage varies by market.

  • Infrastructure map

    Open Infrastructure Map

    Follow transmission lines, substations and power plants beyond this atlas. A rewarding way to see infrastructure that the usual street map leaves out.

    Community mapping from OpenStreetMap. Completeness varies; a mapped line does not establish available capacity.

  • Project database · Global Energy Monitor

    Global Integrated Power Tracker

    Explore power projects around the world, from proposals through operation and retirement, with links into the research behind individual facilities.

    Coverage thresholds vary by technology. Proposed capacity is not a forecast of what will be built.

  • Visual reference · Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

    Energy flow charts

    Trace energy from its sources through electricity generation and end uses. State charts put the Northwest’s power system inside the larger energy picture.

    These are annual energy accounts, including estimated energy services and losses, rather than paths through physical wires.

  • Regional plan · Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

    Tribal Energy Vision

    A Columbia Basin energy vision connecting reliable electricity with salmon, treaty resources, efficiency and peak demand. It asks what an electricity map leaves out.

    Read as the Commission’s recommendations and priorities, with their stated planning assumptions.

  • An approachable explanation of reconductoring: replacing wires on existing routes, the opportunities it creates, and the practical limits that remain.

    Published in 2024 from a clean-energy policy perspective; regional potential estimates are study results.

  • Interviews & explainers

    Volts · David Roberts

    Long conversations that make electricity technology and utility incentives understandable. The interviews on grid-enhancing technologies and reconductoring are useful places to start.

    A decarbonization perspective; guests may advocate for the technologies or policies they discuss.

  • Book · Columbia River history

    The Organic Machine · Richard White

    Read today’s dam sites through the longer history of river energy, human work and salmon. The publisher offers the opening chapter as a starting point.

    Historical reading, first published in 1995. The full book requires library or purchase access.

Methodology

Capacity · MW
Nameplate rating of a plant’s operating generators, summed at the inventory date (EIA-860). A rating of what the plant could deliver at full output, not what it produced.
Net generation · MWh
Energy a plant delivered over the calendar year after its own station use (EIA-923). Negative values are real: pumped storage and batteries draw more energy to charge than they return, and some plants used more than they made. They are kept, never zeroed.
Plants of 1 MW and more
EIA-860 covers plants with at least one megawatt of nameplate capacity; that threshold is the survey’s, not the atlas’s. Smaller and customer-sited generation is reported by utilities in aggregate (EIA-861) and shown as distributed generation, never added to plant totals.
Northwest grid and states
Northwest grid totals use an explicit list of balancing authorities. State totals use plants physically located in each state. These groups overlap but differ, and are never mixed in one total.
Listed-plant sums
When filters narrow the list, the headline is the sum of the listed plants’ published values at the same basis, with the published regional total beside it. Plants without a reported value are counted, not zero-filled.
Reported · estimated · modeled
Evidence describes how a value was established; derived and curated describe processing. An estimate stays an estimate after import and is badged where it appears.
Unknown is not zero
Missing source values, unsupported metrics and unavailable locations stay explicit. No absent record is treated as zero output.
Ownership is not operation
Owner totals apply each generator’s reported share once. A complete EIA-860 schedule can establish sole ownership by the operator under EIA’s stated filing rule; the basis is named on every generator.
Territory is approximate
A plant inside a service-area polygon is a geographic candidate. It does not establish who buys its output or who serves a customer’s address.
Storage is its own resource
A unit is storage when its prime mover is a storage technology (battery, pumped-storage turbine, flywheel, compressed air, thermal), never by fuel code, which files pumped units under hydro and batteries under other. Discharge MW is a separate row of every capacity total; net MWh (discharged minus charged) is signed and never enters generation shares. A plant with storage beside other units is co-located storage; its deliverable capacity is not the sum of its parts.

Map groups & circle size

Groups use the same filtered plants as the list. Resource, reported balancing authority and operator each assign a plant once; ownership shares are separate. At low zoom, numbered circles summarize nearby plants within a group. Zoom or open their members to reach the plant records. A cluster is a display summary, not a grid connection. Plants without coordinates remain in listed totals.

Positive circle areas represent MW or MWh. Fixed size keeps a common reference across filters; dynamic size uses the 95th percentile of positive filtered plant values. The legend states the minimum and maximum visible sizes. True relative size removes both limits; zero, negative and unreported values retain separate marks. Clustering software notices.

Coverage & omissions

Published release coverage. The frame is an explicit list of balancing authorities. Physical state, reporting assignment, ownership and retail service are separate scopes.

Counts use each source’s native unit. A plant without geometry remains in the inventory.

Plant#
A generating facility as EIA lists it: one location with one or more generators, an operator and a reported balancing authority. EIA-860 covers plants of 1 MW and more.See also: Generator·Operator·Balancing authority
Generator#
One unit inside a plant with its own nameplate capacity, technology, energy source, status and dates. EIA treats storage units as generators; the atlas gives storage its own resource group.See also: Nameplate capacity·Resource
Nameplate capacity#
The rated maximum power of a generator in MW, as reported on EIA-860. A rating, not output. Plant and regional figures sum the operating generators once each, unscaled by ownership.See also: Net generation·Capacity factor·Operating
Net generation#
Energy a plant delivered over a period in MWh after its own station use (EIA-923). Negative values are real: pumped storage and batteries draw more energy to charge than they return. Kept signed, never zeroed.See also: Nameplate capacity·Capacity factor·Storage
Reported CO2#
Annual stack CO2 in metric tonnes that a plant's monitored units filed with EPA (Part 75 continuous emissions monitoring), shown on the map only where every combustion generator at the plant is monitored. A partly monitored plant carries its monitored units' mass on its own page and no map quantity; a thermal plant outside EPA's programme and a plant with no combustion unit carry a status, never zero. The sum of listed plants is what those plants filed, not a regional total or a carbon footprint.
Capacity factor#
Net generation for the year divided by what the operating nameplate could have produced every hour of that year. Computed only when the operating fleet was unchanged across the year; otherwise "not supported".See also: Nameplate capacity·Net generation
Operating#
A generator with EIA status code OP in the inventory year. "Operating plants only" keeps plants with at least one such generator; standby, out-of-service, proposed and retired units are listed separately.See also: Inventory year·Lifecycle status
Project#
A record of something proposed, requested or sited that is not (yet) an operating plant: a BPA interconnection request, a plant EIA-860M lists after the baseline inventory, or an EFSEC siting case. Each keeps its source's own status and MW; one facility can appear under more than one record.See also: Interconnection request·EFSEC facility·Latest inventory
Interconnection request#
A request to a transmission provider for interconnection service, identified by the provider's request number: BPA's own workbook for BPA, and LBNL's Queued Up compilation for the other Northwest providers. It names a requestor, a county, a point of interconnection and the requested MW; it is not a plant, many requests can describe one facility, and most are withdrawn.See also: Project·Queue outcome
Queue outcome#
Where an interconnection request stands as of its source's cutoff, in one vocabulary mapped from each provider's own status text, which stays beside it: active, operational, withdrawn, suspended, decommissioned or unknown. An executed interconnection agreement is not operation, and a request still active or suspended at the cutoff is unresolved, not failed. Elapsed days run from the request date to a published milestone date and exist only where both dates do.See also: Interconnection request·Lifecycle status
EFSEC facility#
A facility reviewed by Washington's Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council, which recommends; the Governor approves or rejects. The atlas records each facility's stage, decision and stated MW from its EFSEC page and links it to an operating plant only where reviewed.See also: Project
Latest inventory#
The complete pinned EIA-860M workbook for the stated month: current-valid unit assertions beside the annual baseline. Missing units have unknown current state; historical rows are not carried forward. Shown as dated differences beside the baseline, never added into it (decision 49).See also: Inventory year·Lifecycle status
Lifecycle status#
EIA's status code for a unit: operating, standby, out of service, planned (several stages), under construction, cancelled, retired. The atlas shows the code and its label; a proposal is not a commitment and retired is not demolished.See also: Operating
Resource#
The energy source of a plant's operating generators, grouped: hydro, nuclear, natural gas, coal, oil, wind, solar, storage, waste and biomass, other. A plant with mixed units takes the group with the most operating capacity on the map and is split by unit in totals.See also: Storage
Storage#
Batteries, pumped hydro and other systems that store electricity and return it later, identified by the unit's prime mover. Their own resource: discharge MW under capacity, signed net MWh (discharged minus charged) under generation. They store, they do not generate; a plant that also has other units is co-located storage.See also: Net generation·Resource·Storage duration
Storage duration#
Nameplate energy capacity (MWh) divided by discharge capacity (MW): how many hours the unit could discharge at full power from full, on nameplate terms. Shown only when both are reported; pumped storage reports no energy capacity to EIA.See also: Storage
Charged · discharged · net#
Energy taken to charge (or pump), energy returned, and their signed difference over the year, from EIA-923. Net is usually negative because charging exceeds output; the implied round-trip ratio is a description of a full reported year, not an efficiency rating.See also: Storage·Net generation
Balancing authority#
The organization that keeps supply and demand in balance for the area a plant reports to, and reports that area's operations to EIA. An accounting boundary, not a wire to any customer and not a service territory.See also: Northwest grid·Service area
Operator#
The organization that runs a plant day to day, as reported to EIA. Not necessarily an owner, and not necessarily the utility that serves nearby customers.See also: Owner·Retail seller
Owner#
An organization holding a reported share of a generator. Owner totals apply each share once to the generator's nameplate MW. Ownership is not a supply relationship. Example: an operating 100 MW generator with a 25% ownership share contributes 25 MW to owned capacity. Its operator counts the full 100 MW. Neither quantity establishes who buys its electricity.See also: Ownership basis·Operator·Parent chain
Ownership basis#
How 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.See also: Owner
Parent chain#
The organizations above a direct owner, as the owner's own filing states them: a subsidiary's parent, that parent's parent, up to a listed company or the last entity the filing names. A share is published only where the filing gives a percentage or says wholly owned; a filing that states control without a percentage leaves the share null. Curated for reviewed plants only.See also: Parent-attributed exposure·Owner
Parent-attributed exposure#
A parent's share of a plant's physical MW: nameplate MW x the direct owner's share x every stated share up the chain. Computed only while every hop is stated; where a share is missing the MW stays at the last stated entity. The same MW as the direct owner's, seen one level up, never added to it. The unknown residual is capacity minus what reaches a named entity.See also: Parent chain·Owner
Retail seller#
A utility that reported electricity sold to end customers in Washington, Oregon, Idaho or Montana on EIA-861. Selling retail is separate from operating or owning plants.See also: Average revenue per kWh·Customer class
Owner type#
EIA's classification of an organization: investor-owned utility, public utility district or other political subdivision, municipal utility, cooperative, federal, state, independent power producer, industrial, commercial. Always spelled out in the atlas.See also: Consumer-owned
Consumer-owned#
Utilities owned by the public they serve: municipal, cooperative, public utility district and other political subdivisions, state and federal. A grouping the atlas defines from EIA's owner types.See also: Owner type
Northwest grid#
The atlas's reporting frame: an explicit configured list of balancing authorities whose plants form the frame population. Reached through search; the Region control uses states instead.See also: Balancing authority·Located in
Located in#
The state where a plant physically sits, from its EIA-860 coordinates and state field, whichever authority it reports to or utility serves the area. The Region control and state totals use this meaning.See also: Northwest grid·Service area
Service area#
An approximate retail service territory of a utility from a state reference layer. Orientation only: a polygon does not decide who serves an address or who buys a plant's output; overlaps and gaps are kept.See also: Located in·Balancing authority
Distributed generation#
Customer-sited and small generation that utilities report in aggregate on EIA-861 (net-metered and non-net-metered), with no locations. A separate population from the plant inventory and never added to it.See also: Plant
Distributed-generation screening#
A utility's published first look at whether a distribution feeder can take more generation, such as rooftop or community solar: the loads it metered on the feeder, the generation already connected and queued, and its own readiness and generation-limited classifications, at one date. PGE publishes one twice a year. It is not available hosting capacity, not a study of any site and not an interconnection approval.See also: Distributed generation
Inventory year#
The EIA-860 annual snapshot a capacity, status or ownership fact describes: status as of the end of that year. Snapshot facts carry no year on their card; the edition names it once.See also: Comparison year·Edition
Comparison year#
The calendar year every energy, sales and revenue fact refers to, so entities compare on one basis. Calendar quantities carry the year on their card. New years enter through a validated release.See also: Inventory year·Edition
Edition#
The pair of inventory year and comparison year the whole site is built on, stated once in the footer. The release identifier below it pins the exact data files.See also: Release
Release#
An immutable build of the data: pinned inputs, code and checks, with an identifier in every file. Each release keeps its numbers at a permanent address; frozen citation pages never change.See also: Edition·Frozen citation
Frozen citation#
A plain HTML page per entity listing its facts with value, unit, period, evidence, quality and source locator as published in one release. Cite a fact by its fact id and the release id.See also: Release
Listed plants#
When filters narrow the atlas, the headline is the sum of the listed plants' published values at the same basis, with the published state totals beside it as context. Plants without a reported value are counted, never zero-filled. Organization filters match plants it operates or owns. Totals add the full capacity and output of each matching plant, without ownership weighting.See also: Nameplate capacity·Net generation
Reported · estimated · modeled#
How a value was established. Reported: filed or published by the source. Estimated: an imputation or allocation by the source or the pipeline. Modeled: a simulation or forecast. Metered values are explicitly measured. Only the exceptions are badged.See also: Direct · derived · curated
Direct · derived · curated#
How a value was processed: direct as published, derived by aggregation or computation from published values, curated by hand entry or review. Independent of evidence: a source's estimate stays estimated after import.See also: Reported · estimated · modeled
Quality and maturity#
Quality: valid, suspect (partial coverage), missing, withheld, not applicable or unsupported. Maturity: final, provisional or unknown, from the source's own flags. A missing value is never a zero.See also: Reported · estimated · modeled
Average revenue per kWh#
Retail revenue divided by retail sales over bundled full-service rows, in cents per kilowatt-hour. A realized average for the year; not a tariff, a bill or a marginal price.See also: Retail seller·Customer class
Customer class#
EIA-861's grouping of retail customers: residential, commercial, industrial, transportation. Classes do not identify individual customers or data centers.See also: Retail seller
Short-form respondent#
A small utility that files Form EIA-861S instead of the full EIA-861: one total per state for sales, revenue and customers, full service only, with no customer classes. The atlas shows those totals as filed and derives no average price from them, because an all-class figure would not compare with class prices elsewhere.See also: EIA-861·Retail seller
SAIDI#
System Average Interruption Duration Index: the minutes of sustained interruption the average customer had over the year, customer-minutes interrupted divided by customers served. Each utility calculates and reports its own figure on EIA-861 Schedule 3, under the method it declares. A system average says nothing about one address.See also: SAIFI·CAIDI·Major event days·Reliability reporting standard
SAIFI#
System Average Interruption Frequency Index: how many sustained interruptions the average customer had over the year, customers interrupted divided by customers served, as the utility reports it on EIA-861 Schedule 3.See also: SAIDI·CAIDI·Major event days
CAIDI#
Customer Average Interruption Duration Index: minutes per sustained interruption, SAIDI divided by SAIFI on the same basis. EIA-861 asks utilities for SAIDI and SAIFI only; EIA publishes CAIDI with the data and the atlas shows it as published, never recomputed.See also: SAIDI·SAIFI
Major event days#
Days a utility sets apart from normal operation: EIA describes them as events such as snowstorms, floods or heatwaves, or periods of outages that differ greatly from the utility's own five-year history. EIA-861 asks for the indices both with and without them. Part B respondents determine them under IEEE 1366; Part C respondents define a major event themselves. The two series answer different questions and are never blended.See also: SAIDI·Reliability reporting standard
Reliability reporting standard#
EIA-861 Schedule 3 has two parts. Part B is for utilities that calculate SAIDI and SAIFI and determine major event days under IEEE 1366-2003 or IEEE 1366-2012; Part C is for any other method, where the utility also states how it defines a momentary interruption and whether inactive accounts count as customers. Figures from the two parts are not comparable and the atlas never pools them; utilities under Part C do not share one method either.See also: SAIDI·Major event days·EIA-861
Prime mover#
EIA's code for the machine that drives a generator: hydraulic turbine, combustion turbine, steam turbine, photovoltaic, wind turbine, battery, pumped-storage turbine and others. Storage is identified from this code, not from the fuel code.See also: Generator·Storage
Energy source#
EIA's fuel or energy code for a generator (water, natural gas, sunlight, wind, uranium and so on). The resource groups summarize these codes; the native code stays on the generator.See also: Resource
Disputed membership#
A plant whose reported balancing authority is in the frame but whose location is far outside the region. Kept as reported, excluded from frame totals with a count of exclusions; never rewritten.See also: Northwest grid
BPA transmission lines#
Line geometry, names and operating voltage published by the Bonneville Power Administration's geospatial service. Voltage is drawn by class (500 kV and above, 345, 230, 115 to 161, and the DC intertie); the unit was established by reconciling the field with the kV figures in line names. No connectivity or power flow is shown.See also: Service area·Voltage class
BPA grid expansion project#
A line upgrade or substation project in the Bonneville Power Administration's Grid Expansion and Reinforcement Portfolio, published with a cycle, a status, an expected energization year and an estimated cost. A planning bundle, not a permit or a contract; the map draws it on the existing line it follows.
Fuel mix disclosure#
Washington's annual statement of where each retail supplier's electricity came from, by fuel category, as the Department of Commerce computes it from the supplier's declared resources, BPA's system mix and unspecified purchases (RCW 19.29A). Shares are of Washington sales. A disclosed mix is an attribution for the year, not a measurement of what flowed on any wire, and the same plant can be claimed by several suppliers.
Tariff#
A price list a utility publishes for a class of customers, with an effective date, a basic charge and one or more energy charges, plus the adjustment schedules that ride on it. A regulated utility files it with its commission; a municipal or district utility adopts it by ordinance or resolution. The atlas lists the adjustment schedules a sheet names and never adds them in, because a bill depends on which ones are switched on. Revenue divided by sales, which EIA-861 reports, is a realized average over a past year and is a different number.See also: Average revenue per kWh·Retail seller
Computed bill#
A declared usage case priced on a published tariff sheet: kWh in one bill, the days it covers, and where the sheet has them a service size, dwelling type or jurisdiction and a season. The total is the schedule's own charges: the fixed charge plus the energy charge by tier. Where the same sheet prints prices for named adjustments or credits, a second, separately labelled total adds them; those prices change on their own schedules. Whatever the sheet only names, such as a city tax, is listed and never added, so neither total is a complete bill. It is an illustration, not a billing record, and it is not the realized average revenue per kWh that EIA-861 reports.See also: Tariff·Average revenue per kWh
Oregon electricity supplier reporting#
Oregon DEQ's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program: every utility and electricity service supplier serving Oregon end users reports the MWh it delivered to them by source, and DEQ computes the emissions from its own emission factors and publishes both per supplier (OAR 340-215-0120). Bonneville Power Administration purchases are their own category. A different basis from Washington's fuel mix disclosure, and not a compliance determination.See also: Fuel mix disclosure
No-cost allowance#
A Climate Commitment Act emission allowance the Department of Ecology gives a CETA-obligated electric utility without charge, one allowance per metric ton of CO2 equivalent, so that the programme's cost does not fall on electricity customers (WAC 173-446-230). Ecology sets the yearly amount from its forecast of the utility's Washington retail load and resource supply, updated as the BPA emission factor changes; it is an allocation, not a measurement of emissions and not a cap on the utility. A utility may not sell or trade these allowances to other entities: it uses them for compliance, banks them, transfers them to an eligible generator or power marketing administration, or consigns them to a quarterly auction, and the proceeds must benefit customers.See also: Cap-and-invest·Fuel mix disclosure
Cap-and-invest#
Washington's greenhouse gas programme under the Climate Commitment Act (RCW 70A.65): covered businesses, including electric utilities and fuel suppliers, must hold one allowance for each metric ton they emit or import, against a state cap that falls each year. Allowances are sold at quarterly auctions run by Ecology or given at no cost to utilities and trade-exposed industries. Compliance period 1 runs 2023 through 2026.See also: No-cost allowance
FERC Form 1#
The annual financial and operating report investor-owned utilities file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission: purchased power by seller, revenue by customer class, expenses, plant in service. Public power, cooperatives and BPA do not file it. Dollars are nominal for the report year; totals here never re-add the form's own subtotals.
Money edge#
A payment relation between two named parties with a public amount: who paid whom, for what product, over what period, from which filing. Where the amount is not public the edge is shown without one and says which source was checked.
EIA-930 hourly operations#
Each balancing authority's hourly report of demand, net generation and interchange with its neighbours, filed with EIA within a day of the hour and revised later. Values are MWh per hour-ending UTC interval as reported; EIA's adjusted and imputed versions are kept beside them, never swapped in. A monthly mean here is the average over the hours the authority reported, with the share of hours covered shown. Where EIA publishes its own imputed value beside a report, it marks that report as replaced: every marked demand hour is left out and counted, and a marked net-generation or interchange hour is left out when it is at least 1.5 times the largest unmarked value of that authority and year; nothing is swapped in. Reported values are the authority’s filings. EIA-adjusted values account for non-physical commercial transfers; EIA-imputed values replace missing or anomalous reports with estimates. Every demand report EIA replaced is left out of every sum and mean here; a replaced generation or interchange report is left out when it is whose magnitude is at least 1.5 times the largest unreplaced magnitude of that authority and year, since zeros and imports are real there. The estimate is never used in its place.
Transmission path#
A cut plane BPA meters and publishes flows for: an intertie to a neighbouring system or a flowgate inside its grid. Drawn as the BPA lines that make up the cut where BPA names them; schematic between named substations otherwise. Its TTC is a directional operating limit for the whole path, never a rating of one line.
Compiled transmission lines#
Lines at 100 kV and above compiled by the federal HIFLD program from imagery and public maps between 2014 and 2021, with the owner and voltage the compilers recorded (voltage partly inferred). Shown where BPA does not publish its own line; a compiled position, not a network model.
Utility-published lines#
A utility's own map of its transmission lines, drawn as the utility publishes it: approximate locations, dated to retrieval, by the line voltage it files (counted on its page, with status); a segment filed with no voltage is drawn as voltage not stated. Shown beside HIFLD's compiled lines, never in place of them; no capacity, rating, circuit or connectivity is stated.
Substation#
A facility that switches, transforms or regulates power at transmission voltage, as compiled by the HIFLD program in 2022 from imagery and public records; shown at 100 kV and above with the compilers' voltages. Line taps are not substations. No owner, connectivity or capacity is asserted.See also: BPA transmission lines·Voltage class
Voltage class#
Transmission lines grouped by operating voltage: 500 kV and above carry bulk power between regions, 230 kV and 345 kV form the regional backbone, 115 to 161 kV serve subregional loads. Line width on the map follows the class; it says nothing about how much power flows.See also: BPA transmission lines
Monthly reporter#
A plant whose respondent reported monthly values to EIA-923 in a given year. Only those plant-years get a monthly series; annual reporters' monthly values are EIA estimates and are not published as a curve.See also: Net generation
Coverage#
For every source and total: how many records were eligible, loaded, published and excluded, and why. Eligible counts the source's rows in scope; published counts those that reached the atlas.See also: Quality and maturity
EIA-860#
The U.S. Energy Information Administration's annual survey of generators: plants, units, capacity, status, dates and ownership. The atlas reads it through PUDL.See also: EIA-923·EIA-861·PUDL
EIA-923#
EIA's survey of power plant operations: generation and fuel by plant, prime mover and energy source, monthly or annual by respondent. The atlas's output facts come from it.See also: EIA-860·Monthly reporter
EIA-861#
EIA's annual survey of electric utilities: retail sales, customers and revenue by state and class, plus net-metered and other distributed generation and each utility's own reliability indices. The atlas's retail, distributed and reliability facts come from it.See also: Retail seller·Distributed generation·SAIDI
CEMS#
Continuous emissions monitoring systems: the stack monitors and fuel-flow methods that units covered by EPA's programs under 40 CFR Part 75 use to report hourly CO2, heat input and gross load. Coverage is a program population (fossil units serving generators above 25 MW, with exemptions for pre-1990 simple-cycle turbines, qualifying cogenerators and small units), not every plant that burns fuel. A plant without CEMS rows is unmonitored, not zero.See also: Monitored unit·Substitute data·Gross load
Monitored unit#
An EPA emissions unit (a combustor or stack) with CEMS rows in the year, linked to EIA generators through the EPA-EIA crosswalk. A plant is fully monitored when every existing coal, gas, oil or waste generator is linked to one; otherwise its monitored CO2 is shown but never as the plant's total.See also: CEMS·Generator
Substitute data#
Hours a unit filled under Part 75 missing-data procedures instead of a monitor reading; EPA flags each hour Measured, Substitute or Measured and Substitute. Substitute values are designed to err high. The atlas counts these hours, and a plant's CO2 fact is metered only when at least 99 percent of its operating unit-hours were measured.See also: CEMS
Gross load#
Electrical output the monitored unit itself reports each hour, before station use. EPA does not require a combined-cycle unit to include its steam turbine, so at some plants gross load is below EIA net generation; an intensity on gross load is published only where it is not.See also: CEMS·Net generation
Obligation kinds#
Five separate records of a clean-energy obligation, never merged: applicability (which statute reaches this utility and why), target (the figure as enacted or ordered, or as a filing or compilation restates it, with that standing marked), filed achievement (what the utility itself reported for a period), determination (what the issuing body decided about the filing, with its order number and date) and deciding event (the open proceeding, its next step and where to comment). A fuel-mix value is none of these, and a filing that restates a target does not enact it.See also: Compliance determination
Compliance determination#
The issuing body's decision on a utility's filing: for an investor-owned utility in Washington, a Utilities and Transportation Commission order; for a consumer-owned utility, its governing board's adoption with the State Auditor's examination. The utility's reported achievement is not one, nor is an agency's summary of it. Where none exists yet the atlas says so with the date it looked.See also: Obligation kinds
Named load#
One facility whose electricity demand is discussed in public: a data center, a fab, a campus. Its dossier keeps six kinds of dated assertion apart and never adds them: what was announced (area or dollars, in the announcer's own unit), what was requested from the utility, the minimum the tariff or contract bills, what an executed agreement makes available, what a utility forecast attributes to it, and what its meter recorded. Most kinds are absent for most facilities; each absence names who holds the figure. A named figure is never added to a forecast that already includes the facility, and a supplier is never inferred from proximity.See also: Tariff·Reported · estimated · modeled
PUDL#
Public Utility Data Liberation, Catalyst Cooperative's cleaned and linked edition of EIA and FERC data. The atlas pins one PUDL release and cites the EIA forms behind each table.See also: EIA-860·Release
Forecast vintage#
One issuer's expectation as of one issue date: a filed plan (draft or final) with its own scenarios, geography, units and planning weather. The expectations ledger keeps each vintage's value for a target year beside the next vintage's on the same basis. The difference between vintages is a revision of what the issuer expected, never a measured change in electricity use, and an observed outcome sits beside a forecast only where the two share a basis; otherwise it is published on its own basis with the reason and no difference.See also: Reported · estimated · modeled
Rate Period High Water Mark#
The most power, in average megawatts, a BPA preference customer may buy at the Tier 1 rate in each year of a rate period, set in a BPA process before each rate period from the customer's Contract High Water Mark. A cap on eligibility, not a delivery, a purchase or a bill.See also: Contract High Water Mark·Net requirement
Contract High Water Mark#
A BPA customer's maximum eligibility for power at the Tier 1 rate under its contract, in average megawatts. Regional Dialogue CHWMs date from 2011; the Provider of Choice CHWMs, calculated once in fiscal 2026 and published final on 2026-05-28, govern contracts delivering from October 2028. Not a current delivery right.See also: Rate Period High Water Mark
Contract Demand Quantity#
A demand amount in kilowatts written into a BPA Regional Dialogue contract, one for each month of the year; BPA publishes the list with an effective date. Not a measured peak and not energy, and twelve months are never added.See also: Load Following
Load Following#
A BPA power product that meets the customer's retail load hour by hour, less the resources it dedicates to that load, rather than delivering a forecast annual amount as the Slice/Block product does.See also: Slice/Block·Net requirement
Slice/Block#
A BPA power product that delivers planned amounts rather than following the customer's load: a Block of fixed amounts together with a Slice, a share of the federal system's output. BPA's customer products list writes it Slice.See also: Load Following
Net requirement#
A BPA customer's load less new large single loads and the resources it dedicates to its load: the power BPA sells it under section 5(b) of the Northwest Power Act. BPA forecasts it in each RHWM process; a forecast is not a measurement.See also: Rate Period High Water Mark·Load Following
Locational marginal price#
The price CAISO's market sets for energy at one pricing node for one interval, in dollars per megawatt-hour, published on OASIS as a total with its energy, congestion and loss components (and a greenhouse-gas component in the day-ahead report). The day-ahead market prices each hour the day before; the real-time dispatch prices every five minutes. The two are different markets and are never averaged together. A price at a Northwest utility's Western EIM aggregation point is CAISO's price at that node: not a regional price, not what the utility paid, and not the Mid-Columbia bilateral index, which is ICE's.See also: Balancing authority·Reported · estimated · modeled

Metrics

Demand, annual meanMWa#
EIA-930 reported hourly demand over a calendar year (UTC) whose kept and left-out hours cover every hour, divided by the hours kept; every hour EIA marked with its own imputed value is left out and counted. The balancing authority's demand, which is not a utility's native load
Computed sheet price per kWh, fixed charge includedcents/kWh#
Schedule charges only. The computed case total divided by the case's kWh. A sheet price for one declared customer, not the realized average revenue per kWh that EIA-861 reports
Sheet price of the last kWh usedUSD/kWh#
Schedule charges only. The rate of the highest tier the usage case reaches, summed over the sheet's per-kWh charges; exclusions not added
Sheet price of the last kWh used, with the per-kWh adjustments the sheet pricesUSD/kWh#
The schedule's price for the last kWh used plus the per-kWh adjustments the same sheet prices at that kWh. Null when the sheet prices none
Computed bill on the published sheetUSD#
Schedule charges only. A declared usage case priced on the utility's published residential sheet: the fixed charge plus the energy charge by tier, each line rounded to the cent. The adjustment schedules and taxes the sheet names are listed as exclusions and not added. An illustrative customer, not a billing record
Computed bill with the adjustments the sheet pricesUSD#
The computed bill on the published sheet plus every adjustment, credit or charge the same sheet prints a price for, each line rounded to the cent. Those prices are as printed on the date the sheet was read and change on their own schedules. Items the sheet only names stay listed and unadded. Null when the sheet prices none; never a copy of the schedule total
CAIDI, major event days includedminutes/interruption#
Published by EIA with the Schedule 3 data as SAIDI divided by SAIFI on the same basis; the form asks the utility for SAIDI and SAIFI only. Shown as published, never recomputed here
CAIDI, major event days included, loss of supply removedminutes/interruption#
Published by EIA with the Schedule 3 Part B data as SAIDI divided by SAIFI, both with loss-of-supply events removed; not a line on the form. Shown as published, never recomputed here
CAIDI, major event days excludedminutes/interruption#
Published by EIA with the Schedule 3 data as SAIDI divided by SAIFI, both excluding major event days; not a line on the form. Shown as published, never recomputed here
Capacity factorfraction#
Net generation MWh / (operating nameplate MW x hours in year); only when every operating generator was operating before the year began and none retired during it
Nameplate capacityMW#
Generator nameplate capacity as reported on EIA-860 The generator’s full nameplate rating in MW, before ownership shares. Its status determines whether it contributes to operating capacity.
No-cost allowances at the last auction priceUSD#
The utility's no-cost allocation for the year multiplied by the settlement price of the most recent quarterly Cap-and-Invest auction. An illustration of scale, not revenue received: a utility consigns only part of its allocation, the price changes every quarter, and the proceeds of any sale must go back to customers
Washington retail load, Ecology's allocation forecastMWh#
Forecasted Retail Load in Ecology's allocation workbook: the load forecast the no-cost allowance allocation was computed from, taken from the utility's own filing (CEIP, IRP, supplemental forecast or BPA rate-case billing determinants). A forecast for one regulatory purpose, not a measurement of sales
No-cost carbon allowancest CO2e#
Ecology's Electric Utility Allowance Allocation Schedule under WAC 173-446-230: allowances allocated at no cost to a CETA-obligated electric utility for the calendar year, one allowance = one metric ton of CO2 equivalent. An allocation computed from Ecology's forecast of the utility's Washington retail load and resource supply, not measured emissions and not a cap on the utility
Combustion generators linked to a monitored unitcount#
Existing coal, gas, oil or waste generators of the plant (EIA-860 inventory year) that the EPA-EIA crosswalk links to a unit with CEMS rows; a steam turbine linked to several combustion turbines counts once
Combustion generators at the plantcount#
Existing (operating, standby or out of service) generators whose resource group is coal, gas, oil or waste in the EIA-860 inventory year: the units that could be monitored
Gross load of monitored unitsMWh#
Sum over the year of each monitored unit's reported hourly gross load (MW) x operating time (h). A unit-reported quantity: a combined-cycle unit need not include its steam turbine, so this can be below EIA net generation
Heat input of monitored unitsmmBtu#
Sum over the year of each monitored unit's reported hourly heat input
Hours in which a monitored unit rancount#
Calendar hours of the reporting year in which at least one monitored unit reported operating time; never above the hours in the year
Share of operating unit-hours with measured CO2fraction#
Operating unit-hours EPA flagged Measured divided by all operating unit-hours of the plant's monitored units; the rest were Substitute, Measured and Substitute, or another method code
Unit operating hours, monitored unitsh#
Sum of reported operating time over the plant's monitored units: unit-hours, so it can exceed the hours in the year when several units ran
EPA emissions units with CEMS rowscount#
Distinct EPA emissions units at the plant with rows in the reporting year; an EPA unit is a combustor or stack, not an EIA generator
CO2 per MWh of gross load (unit-reported)t CO2/MWh#
Monitored-unit CO2 (tonnes) divided by the same units' reported gross load. Only where every combustion generator is monitored and the gross load is not below EIA net generation; gross, so lower than the net figure, and not comparable with it
CO2 per MWh of net generationt CO2/MWh#
Monitored-unit CO2 (tonnes) divided by the plant's EIA-923 net generation for the same year. Only where every combustion generator is monitored, so numerator and denominator cover the same plant; comparable across such plants
CO2 mass, monitored units, as filedshort tons CO2#
The same sum in the unit EPA's files use (short tons); shown beside the metric figure so the conversion is visible
CO2 mass, monitored unitst CO2#
Sum of hourly CO2 mass reported under 40 CFR Part 75 by the plant's EPA-monitored units over the reporting year, short tons x 0.90718474. Stack total of those units including any share attributable to steam sold; the plant's total only where every combustion generator is monitored
Council forecast annual energyMWa#
The Council's draft Ninth Plan frozen-efficiency forecast of annual energy for its own zone, future pathway, climate model and year, in average megawatts, the Total_Load column as printed; a planning input, not a utility's expectation
Council forecast annual energy, one componentMWa#
One component of the Council's draft Ninth Plan annual energy total for its own zone, future pathway, climate model and year, printed in the same row as the total (DC_Load, incremental data centres; H2_Load, hydrogen production); the total includes it and nothing is subtracted here
Council forecast annual peakMW#
The Council's draft Ninth Plan frozen-efficiency forecast of the single highest hour of load in the year for its own zone, future pathway and climate model, the Total_Load column as printed, with the hour as the workbook prints it
Council forecast annual peak, one componentMW#
One component of the Council's single-hour annual peak for its own zone, future pathway, climate model and year, at that peak hour, printed in the same row as the peak (DC_Load, incremental data centres); the peak workbooks print no hydrogen column
Demand, monthly meanMWa#
EIA-930 reported hourly demand summed over the UTC month divided by the hours kept, leaving out every hour EIA marked with its own imputed value
Available hosting capacityMW#
Additional distributed generation a feeder or transformer could accept. PGE does not publish it: its FAQ (January 16, 2026, pages 2–3) says a DG Ready feeder can accept up to 80% of its thermal rating absent other constraints, and that the map and its data "do not provide the information necessary to quantify this amount". Never derived here from net daytime minimum load, queued MW or a readiness flag

Units

MVA · megavolt-ampere#
Apparent power: voltage times current, including the reactive part that does no work. A feeder's peak load in MVA is not MW; converting it needs a power factor the source does not publish, so the atlas never converts it and never adds it to MW.
MW · megawatt#
Power: the rate at which electricity is produced or used at one instant. Nameplate capacity and storage charge or discharge ratings are MW. Never summed across time.
MWa · average megawatt#
Energy over a stated period divided by the hours in it: a mean power. Planning documents use it for annual energy; the atlas labels the period whenever it appears.
MWh · megawatt-hour#
Energy: one megawatt sustained for one hour. Net generation, retail sales and storage energy capacity are MWh. Never summed across instants.
MWh/yr · megawatt-hours per year#
Energy over a year as a source states it. Not converted to MWa: a source that writes annual MWh is quoted in annual MWh.
USD · U.S. dollars#
Nominal dollars of the report year unless a base year is stated.
USD/MWh · U.S. dollars per megawatt-hour#
A wholesale market price: nominal dollars for one megawatt-hour of energy at a named pricing node for one interval, as the market operator published it. A price, never a quantity; an hourly day-ahead price and a five-minute real-time price are different prices and are never averaged together.
USD/kWh · U.S. dollars per kilowatt-hour#
A price on a published tariff sheet, in the dollars the sheet prints. A sheet price, never revenue divided by sales.
cents/kWh · cents per kilowatt-hour#
Dollars divided by energy, in cents. On a retail fact it is revenue divided by energy sold: a realized average price, never a tariff or a marginal rate. On a computed bill it is the case total divided by the case's kWh, and the fact says so.
cfs · cubic feet per second#
A rate of water flow through or past a dam. A rate, like MW: flows at different stamps are never summed into a volume here, and an hourly mean and a daily mean are different quantities.
count · count#
A number of records: plants, generators, customers or utilities as the source defines them.
days · day#
Elapsed calendar days between two dated milestones of the same interconnection request, from the provider's request date to the date the source publishes for the later milestone. Computed only when both dates are present; a missing date leaves it null, never 0.
fraction · fraction#
A ratio written as a decimal (0.25 is 25%); the denominator is stated on the fact. Ownership fractions and capacity factors are shares between 0 and 1; a reserve margin is a fraction above a named load and can be negative.
ft · foot#
A reservoir or river elevation in feet above the vertical datum named beside it (NGVD29 for the federal Columbia projects). Not a depth and not a volume of water: equal changes in elevation hold different volumes at different pool levels.
h · hour#
Duration. Storage duration is nameplate energy MWh divided by discharge MW: how long the unit could discharge at full power from full, on nameplate terms.
interruptions/customer/year · interruptions per customer per year#
SAIFI's unit: customers interrupted over the report year divided by customers served. EIA's data file calls it times per year.
kV · kilovolt#
Voltage of a transmission line or a distribution feeder. Only shown when the source states the unit; BPA's raw voltage field does not.
kW · kilowatt#
Power, one thousandth of a megawatt. Kept where a tariff sheet or contract prints kilowatts (a 20,000 kW minimum billing demand), never restated as MW on the fact.
kcfs · thousand cubic feet per second#
A rate of water flow in thousands of cfs, the unit USACE's Dataquery serves flows in. Kept as served; where a view sets it on one axis with cfs flows it is multiplied by 1,000 (exact) and says so. Never summed across dams or stamps.
km · kilometre#
Length of drawn line geometry, measured in the CONUS Albers projection (EPSG:5070), within about 1% in the region. A sum of drawn segments is not a route, circuit or conductor length.
minutes/customer/year · minutes of interruption per customer per year#
SAIDI's unit: customer-minutes of sustained interruption over the report year divided by customers served, as the utility calculates it. An average over a whole system, not any one customer's outage time.
minutes/interruption · minutes per interruption#
CAIDI's unit: SAIDI divided by SAIFI on the same basis, the average length of one sustained interruption.
mmBtu · million British thermal units#
Heat input of the fuel burned, as the monitored unit reports it under Part 75.
percent · percent#
Per hundred, as a statute, order or filing states it; the basis (of retail load, of sales, of allocation) is on the fact. Kept as written rather than converted to a fraction so the figure reads as enacted.
short tons CO2 · short tons of carbon dioxide#
Mass of CO2 in U.S. short tons (2,000 lb), the unit EPA's Part 75 hourly emissions files use. The atlas keeps this figure as filed beside its metric conversion.
sq ft · square feet#
Floor or cleanroom area as a facility announcement states it. Not an electrical quantity and never converted to one: area does not measure demand.
t CO2 · metric tonnes of carbon dioxide#
Mass of CO2 in metric tonnes: short tons x 0.90718474. Stack CO2 of monitored units only; not CO2-equivalent, not lifecycle, and not a plant total where some units are unmonitored.
t CO2/MWh · tonnes of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour#
CO2 mass divided by generation over the same year. The denominator is named on the fact: EIA-923 net generation, or the monitored units' own gross load. Computed only where every combustion generator of the plant is monitored.
t CO2e · metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent#
Mass of greenhouse gas expressed as the mass of carbon dioxide with the same warming effect. One Climate Commitment Act allowance is one metric ton CO2e, so a count of allowances is stated in this unit. An allocation of allowances is a compliance instrument, not a measurement of what a utility emitted.
t CO2e/MWh · metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt-hour#
Greenhouse gas mass divided by energy over the same year, as the publisher computes it. Oregon DEQ's emission intensity is the anthropogenic emissions its reporting system attributes to a supplier's Oregon deliveries divided by those MWh: an attribution from emission factors, not a stack measurement.
years · years#
A span of time as a count of years, such as the weighted average life a utility reports for its energy-efficiency measures. Not a date and not a rate.

Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (curated by grid-map)Projects and queues

EFSEC facilities index (pipeline/config/crosswalks/efsec_facilities.csv)

Washington Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council, facility pages

Stage, decision and figures as each EFSEC facility page states them on the review date; EFSEC recommends and the Governor decides; a listed facility is not necessarily built.

grid-map (curated from agency, utility and regulator pages)Projects and queues

Notable lifecycle events (pipeline/config/crosswalks/notable_lifecycle_events.csv)

Retirements, cancellations, removals and decisions as stated by the utility, agency or regulator cited on each row

A curated list, not a census: it names notable cases with a date and a source; absence from the list means nothing.

grid-map (curated from each utility's own tariff sheet)Money and tariffs

Residential tariffs and net-metering credit rules (pipeline/config/crosswalks/retail_tariffs.csv)

Tariff sheets published by Snohomish County PUD, Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, PacifiCorp, Portland General Electric, Avista and Idaho Power; discovery cross-references from the OpenEI Utility Rate Database (CC0)

The price on a sheet, read on the retrieval date, not a bill: the adjustment schedules named beside it are listed and never summed, and a realized average from EIA-861 answers a different question. Rates change on their own effective dates, and the OpenEI entries are a discovery index whose Northwest rows are often older than the sheet cited here.

Washington State Department of Ecology (curated by grid-map)Policy and disclosure

Cap-and-Invest auction summary reports (pipeline/config/crosswalks/cca_auctions.csv)

Washington State Department of Ecology, Cap-and-Invest auction summary reports (one publication per auction, cited on each row)

Prices and volumes exactly as each auction's summary report certifies them. A quarterly auction clears at a bid price; a reserve (APCR) auction sells at tier prices set by rule, and utilities may not consign into one. Allowances sold on behalf of consigning entities are the utility side of the auction, and those proceeds must benefit customers. A settlement price is the price on one auction day, not a forward market price.

grid-map (curated from statute, commission orders, utility filings and Commerce report summaries)Policy and disclosure

Clean-energy obligation assertions (pipeline/config/crosswalks/clean_energy_obligations.csv)

Washington State Legislature (RCW 19.405, RCW 19.285), Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission orders and docket filings, Washington State Department of Commerce EIA and CEIP report summaries, and each utility's own filings, cited per row

One assertion per row, five kinds kept apart: what applies, what is owed, what the utility filed, what the issuing body decided, and the open proceeding. A fuel-mix value is not a compliance verdict, and a filing that restates a target does not enact it; standing on each row says whose figure it is. An absent row states what was checked and when; a utility not in the file has not been curated.

grid-map (curated from BPA Transmission Services and WECC)Geometry

BPA interties and flowgates (pipeline/config/crosswalks/bpa_paths.csv)

Path definitions from BPA's OPI Paths page, ATCID V88 and 2025 Transmission Plan; ratings from BPA's OPI TTC series and the WECC 2026 Path Rating Catalog

A path is a metered cut plane; member lines are those BPA names, so partial cuts (non-BPA lines) are noted per row. TTC is a directional operating limit on the review date, not a rating of any line.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory, HydroSourceInventory (plants, generators, utilities)2026

Existing Hydropower Assets (EHA) Plant Database, 2026 (published 2026-07-06, revised 2026-07-16; DOI 10.21951/EHA_FY2026/3374497)

Megan M. Johnson, Shih-Chieh Kao and Rocio Uría-Martínez. 2026. Existing Hydropower Assets (EHA) Plant Database, 2026. HydroSource. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. DOI: 10.21951/EHA_FY2026/3374497

Only the EHA plant identifier, plant name and water body of reviewed rows are republished, as identity beside the EIA plant; EHA capacity and generation are not loaded and never enter any total. An EHA record without an EIA plant id has no entity here.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory, HydroSourceInventory (plants, generators, utilities)2026

Hydropower Infrastructure – LAkes, Reservoirs, and RIvers (HILARRI), Version 4 (2026-05-05; DOI 10.21951/HILARRI/3362570; links EHA 2025 plants to NID dams of 2025-08-18, GRanD v1.3, NHDPlusV2 and HUC12)

Hansen, C. H., Matson, P. G., Bozeman, B. B., Turner, S. W. D. 2026. Hydropower Infrastructure – LAkes, Reservoirs, and RIvers (HILARRI) v4. HydroSource. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. DOI: 10.21951/HILARRI/3362570

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.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Inventory of DamsInventory (plants, generators, utilities)2026

National Inventory of Dams, national export dated 2026-09-11 (dam id, name, river, purposes and coordinates used to verify each HILARRI dam link)

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, National Inventory of Dams (export of 2026-09-11)

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.

grid-map (curated from each owner's own SEC filings)Ownership

Ownership parent chains, reviewed plants and dated interest transfers (pipeline/config/crosswalks/ownership_parents.csv, ownership_paths_plants.csv, ownership_transfers.csv)

Forms 10-K for fiscal year 2025 of Puget Energy and Puget Sound Energy, Berkshire Hathaway Energy (PacifiCorp), Berkshire Hathaway Inc., NorthWestern Energy Group, Talen Energy Corporation, Portland General Electric and Avista Corporation, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and Capital Power Corporation's 2025 Annual Information Form as filed on SEDAR+, each cited on its row

A parent chain is what the owner's own filing states on the cited page, read on the checked date: a share is published only where the filing gives a percentage or says wholly owned, and a filing that states control without a percentage leaves the share null and stops the arithmetic there. Parent-attributed MW is a share of the same physical capacity as the direct owner's MW and is never added to it. Holders above 5 percent of a listed company are in its proxy statement and are not curated. A plant without a reviewed row has no chain, not no parent.

grid-map (curated from commission dockets, utility filings and contracts, utility resource plans and announcements)Projects and queues

Named-load facility dossiers (pipeline/config/crosswalks/named_loads.csv, named_load_assertions.csv)

Idaho Public Utilities Commission case files and orders, Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission docket UE-161123, Idaho Power's 2025 IRP Appendix A, Idaho Department of Commerce and Micron releases, cited per row

Six kinds of dated assertion per facility, kept apart and never summed: announced, requested, minimum billed, contracted, forecast and metered. Confidential contract exhibits stay confidential; an absent row names who holds the figure. A named figure is never added to a forecast that already includes the facility, and no supplier is inferred from proximity.

grid-map (curated from each utility's own tariff sheet, commission orders and policy dockets)Policy and disclosure

Large-load and data-center tariff registry (pipeline/config/crosswalks/large_load_tariffs.csv)

Tariff sheets and orders of Puget Sound Energy, PacifiCorp, Portland General Electric, the Oregon PUC, Avista, Idaho Power and the Idaho PUC, Tacoma Power, Grant PUD, Chelan County PUD, Umatilla Electric Cooperative, NorthWestern Energy and the Washington UTC, cited per row

Thresholds and terms as each sheet or order states them on the review date; a pending row is a filing, not a tariff in effect.

grid-map (curated from BPA's public plans, reports and layers)Geometry

BPA line evidence (pipeline/config/crosswalks/bpa_line_evidence.csv)

Bonneville Power Administration: Transmission Plan, ATC Implementation Document, GERP project summaries, quarterly capital reports and public GIS layers, cited per row

Dated statements BPA's own documents make about a line, each with its document, page and review date. Costs are for the scope each document names, never one line's cost, and are never added across documents; an absent row names who holds the figure.

grid-map (curated from BPA's workbooks and letters and each utility's own reports)Money and tariffs

BPA supply accounts (pipeline/config/crosswalks/bpa_customer.csv and supply_accounts.csv)

Bonneville Power Administration (RHWM outputs, Provider of Choice CHWM calculation, CDQs, customer products lists, product change letter), Snohomish County PUD (2025 Annual Report; Electric Utility Rates, Schedule 7; electric rates page) and Seattle City Light (financial statements for 2016, 2018, 2022, 2024 and 2025; 2021A and 2026A official statements; residential rates page) with the City of Seattle's rate ordinances, cited per row; FERC coverage lines cite PUDL's FERC Form 1 and EQR extracts (CC-BY-4.0), the eCFR and FERC's CID listing

Entitlements (MWa), demand quantities (kW), forecasts net of resources (MWa), dollars (USD), energy received (MWh, or MWa as an average) and a disclosure attribution (MWh), each with its own period and document, never added, subtracted or divided across one another. A figure names the BPA product in force during its period; a price per MWh appears only where the utility publishes the same period's BPA energy in MWh in the same document, badged derived. A note's Block and Slice rows are components of the year's purchase, never products, never added to its total and never priced. The bill trace quotes the utility's residential sheet and prints a price only where the utility does, in its unit; the share of a bill that pays for BPA power is shown only where a document states it.

grid-map (curated from integrated resource plans as filed with state commissions and from the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's published plan)planning

Expectations ledger (pipeline/config/crosswalks/forecasts.csv, expectations.csv)

Avista Corporation, 2021, 2023, draft 2025 and 2025 Electric Integrated Resource Plans as filed with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UE-200301, UE-230793) and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission; Northwest Power and Conservation Council, 2021 Northwest Power Plan (document 2022-3) demand forecast workbook; cited per row

Extracted figures with the document named; the issuers' own files are retained privately and not re-served. Every value is the issuer's expectation on its issue date, labelled modeled; a revision between vintages is not a measured change in use, and an observed value sits beside a forecast only where the two share a basis.

grid-map (curated)Code tables

Display names and aliases (pipeline/config/crosswalks/aliases.csv)

Display names verified against each organization's own website; EIA legal names retained as aliases

A display name is the name an organization uses for itself; the EIA name stays searchable and on the record. Each row cites the page that shows the name.

Each electricity supplier's electricity delivered to Oregon end users in MWh, and the anthropogenic emissions DEQ computes for it in metric tons CO2e from its own emission factors, by year, and by fuel type from 2019 (OAR 340-215-0120). Specified sources are reported at the busbar or with DEQ's 2% transmission-loss factor; unspecified purchases carry 0.428 t CO2e/MWh; a multi-jurisdictional utility reports its whole system and its Oregon retail sales including losses, and DEQ applies the system's factor to the Oregon figure. Bonneville Power Administration, Powerex and Tacoma are fuel types in DEQ's workbook and stay their own categories, never resolved to plants. Not generation, not Washington's Fuel Mix Disclosure (a different basis), and not a compliance determination.

Electric Utility Allowance Allocation Schedule, Master Spreadsheet v8 (Pub. 23-02-031), updated 2025-12-08

Washington State Department of Ecology, Electric Utility Allowance Allocation Schedule (Pub. 23-02-031)

No-cost allowances a CETA-obligated electric utility receives under the Climate Commitment Act (WAC 173-446-230), one allowance = 1 metric ton CO2e, for compliance period 1 (2023-2026). The schedule is an allocation, not an emissions measurement and not a cap on the utility: it is computed from Ecology's forecast of the utility's Washington retail load and resource supply mix, with the BPA emission factor updated each year. Years after 2026 are TBD in the workbook and are not published. A utility may not sell or trade these allowances to other entities: it uses them for compliance, banks them, transfers them to an eligible generator or power marketing administration, or consigns them to a quarterly auction, and auction proceeds must benefit customers with priority on low-income rate impacts. Utility names are Ecology's; the link to an organization is the reviewed crosswalk only.

Bonneville Power Administration, Interconnection Request Queue

A queue request is a request for interconnection service, not a plant: many requests can describe one facility, requests are withdrawn or restudied, and an energized request does not name the operating plant. Request numbers and study milestones are BPA's; nameplate and interconnection MW are the requestor's figures. No location beyond county and the named point of interconnection.

Queued Up: 2026 Edition, interconnection queue data file (data through 2025; workbook dated May 2026)

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and GridTracker, Queued Up: 2026 Edition, interconnection queue data file (Rand et al., 2026), CC BY 4.0

A compilation of transmission providers' interconnection queues in one schema, as each provider published them and as LBNL and GridTracker cleaned them: a request for interconnection service, not a plant, with the provider's own status text kept beside LBNL's status, and with agreement, operation and withdrawal dates only where the provider publishes them. Requests sited in WA, OR, ID and MT are loaded; the compilation lags the providers' own queues by months, so an active request here can have changed since. MW are the requester's figures and never enter capacity totals. Rows carrying BPA's request numbers are candidates for the same request in BPA's own workbook and are never merged with it.

NorthWestern Energy, Pre-Cluster Serial Interconnection Queue, OASIS (NWMT), updated 2026-09-24

A request for interconnection service, not a plant, as NorthWestern lists it on the workbook's UPDATED date. The status is NorthWestern's word (Withdrawn, In Service, Suspended, In Construction, Active - Contract Negotiations, Signed Agreement, Active), kept beside the common outcome. The workbook dates the request only: its In Service Date column does not say whether a date is requested or achieved, so no operation date is taken from it. MW is the Summer Output (MW) column, with Winter Output (MW) kept beside it; a requester's figure, never capacity. The location is free text: a state is taken only where it ends with Montana, MT, South Dakota or SD, and otherwise stays null. Rows carry NorthWestern's own project numbers, the numbers LBNL's compilation uses for provider NWMT; the two accounts are related by that number and never merged or name-matched. The TRANSITIONAL CLUSTER sheet (four rows repeated from the generation sheet) and the QUEUE-LINE INTERCONNECT sheet (transmission-line requests) are not read. OATI serves OASIS under its own certificate authority, whose root is in neither the Mozilla (certifi) nor the macOS system trust store (checked 2026-09-28), so a browser may warn before opening the file.

The atlas reads this workbook and publishes counts and outcomes from it; it publishes no copy of it and no table of its rows. NorthWestern replaces the file in place, so the link serves its current edition, which can differ from the one pinned here. OATI's certificate authority is not in common browser trust stores, so a browser may warn first.

California Independent System Operator (California ISO), OASISprice2024

OASIS locational marginal prices at one WEIM load aggregation point over a window of whole trade dates: day-ahead hourly (report PRC_LMP, market run DAM) and real-time 5-minute (report PRC_INTVL_LMP, market run RTM)

Source: California ISO, OASIS

CAISO's locational marginal price at one pricing node over whole trade dates, in U.S. dollars per megawatt-hour, with the energy, congestion and loss components (and the greenhouse-gas component where the report carries one) exactly as OASIS published them at retrieval. Day-ahead and real-time are different markets at different intervals and are never averaged together. This is not a Northwest price and not the Mid-Columbia (Mid-C) bilateral index, which ICE publishes and EIA republishes under a licence that does not reach this site. BPA is a WEIM participant only: OASIS published day-ahead LMPs at its load aggregation point on these dates, but BPA did not settle in CAISO's day-ahead market, so the day-ahead series is CAISO's price at that node, not a price BPA paid. CAISO corrects invalid prices in place after publication; these are the values at the retrieval time recorded in the manifest.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division (Columbia River Water Management), CWMS Data APIwater2024

CWMS Data API revised (CBT-REV) series for the January 2024 episode window at Grand Coulee (office NWDP, location GCL: hourly forebay elevation, hourly outflow, daily inflow), Lower Granite (LWG: hourly outflow and spill) and Bonneville (BON: hourly outflow and tailwater elevation), the location records that key the four Lower Snake dams (LWG, LGS, LMN, IHR) and every reviewed dam USACE's NIDID alias group names

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division, CWMS Data API (revised CBT series, as served at retrieval)

USACE's revised hourly and daily series for three projects over one episode window, and the keys of six, as the CWMS Data API served them at the retrieval time recorded in the manifest. The API serves them unversioned and USACE revises values in place, so a later retrieval can differ; each value keeps the CWMS quality code it was served with. Elevation is feet above the location's own vertical datum; flows are cubic feet per second. The Lower Snake series this API served nothing for come from USACE's Dataquery (usace-dataquery-history), never mixed with these. Water quantities, not generation. Grand Coulee storage is not shown until its capacity-table basis is settled.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division (Columbia River Water Management), Dataquery 2.0water2024

Dataquery revised (CBT-REV) hourly series for the January 2024 episode window at the Lower Snake dams where the CWMS Data API served no value (checked 2026-09-28): Lower Granite forebay elevation; Little Goose, Lower Monumental and Ice Harbor forebay elevation, outflow and spill

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division, Dataquery 2.0 (revised CBT series, as served at retrieval)

USACE's revised hourly series at four Lower Snake projects over one episode window, as Dataquery served them at the retrieval time recorded in the manifest, where the CWMS Data API served none. Dataquery states no version and USACE revises values in place, so a later retrieval can differ; each value keeps the quality code it was served with. Stamps are Pacific Standard Time all year, shown at the hour ending UTC (+8 h). Flows stay in kcfs (thousand cubic feet per second) as served; a view that sets them on one axis with cfs flows multiplies by 1,000 and says so. Elevation is feet above the location's vertical datum. Water quantities, not generation.

Annual peak load the Council forecasts for PacificCorp West, "reported in single hour MW units" (DemandForecast_README.xlsx Glossary!D3), beside the hour of that peak exactly as the workbook prints it, with the Pacific timezone abbreviation the Council wrote (PST or PDT); the hour is kept as text and never re-zoned or resolved to an instant here. A single-hour MW peak is never added to an aMW energy figure. Peak workbooks carry no hydrogen column. Frozen efficiency means equipment efficiency is held fixed so the Council's resource model can choose cost-effective efficiency afterwards (Glossary!B3): a planning input, not a sales forecast, not an observation and not a utility IRP expectation, and never merged with one. Total_Load is the Council's own column (RCI + DC + EV + H2 load as published), never a sum made here; it can differ from its components by a unit or two of rounding, which is not corrected. DC_Load is incremental data-centre load from 2025 and existing data centres sit in RCI_Load (Glossary!E27). Area labels are the Council's own, not the atlas frame and not a service territory; NPCC is the Council's regional aggregate ("not a BA but the aggregation of all the regional BAs", Glossary!H17) and is never added to the thirteen area rows.

Northwest Power and Conservation Council, draft Ninth Northwest Power Plan (document 2026-3, cover date August 12, 2026), data-centre load forecast workbook

Incremental annual energy the Council forecasts for new data centres and chip fabrication plants, an input to its draft Ninth Plan demand forecast. The workbook's own notes say "Load values are annual energy (aMW)" and "Incremental (new) growth forecast, does not include existing tech loads" (text boxes on sheets '20y regional forecasts' and 'Forecast pathways'); aMW is recorded here in the dictionary unit MWa, and there is no peak. Three trajectories, low, mid ("BASE") and high: Appendix F (PDF page 32) states the medium input was used for the Late Growth and Mixed Bag futures, the high input for High Growth and Early Growth, and the low input for Low Growth. They are never averaged or summed. The region runs 2024-2046 ("Post 2030 values are trended upwards at flat rates"); by utility the workbook runs 2024-2030, split into data centres only, chip fabs only and all technologies, under the Council's own utility labels (BPA, PGE, PAC, Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Idaho, NWMT), which are not the atlas frame or a service territory. A blank cell is not published, never zero; the Council's Total column is its own, never a sum made here. This input is not the DC_Load column of the area workbooks, which is the forecast model's output. The plan is draft 2026-3, open for comment through October 16, 2026.

Two trajectories, low and high, described on the sheet 'Pathways'; never averaged or summed. The Northwest series (column J 'NW aMW', 2027-2050) is the load left after the Council's assumption that a growing share of hydrogen is imported or made without electricity (half by 2045, Appendix F PDF page 44); the zone breakouts (2027-2046) split it across the Council's own hydrogen zones (Puget North, BPA OR, BPA WA, Olympia, NWMT, Douglas; the high case adds PACW, Chelan, Grant, PGE, Tacoma, Avista, SCL and Idaho at 2.5% each "for general industrial usage"), which are not the atlas frame or a service territory. The workbook's calculation columns and background sheets are not loaded. This input is not the H2_Load column of the area workbooks. The plan is draft 2026-3, open for comment through October 16, 2026.

The atlas reads this workbook and describes what it holds; it publishes no copy of it and no table of its rows.

Draft Ninth Northwest Power Plan, model buildouts workbook 9th Plan Model Buildouts.xlsx ("NWPCC 9th Plan Scenario Buildout"; READ ME!E14: "Last updated July 28th, 2026 / Initial upload"): the new resources the Council's capital expansion model OptGen selects in each of its 13 sensitivities, by snapshot year (2028, 2030, 2032, 2034, 2038, 2042, 2046), build year, Council zone, resource and resource type

Northwest Power and Conservation Council, draft Ninth Northwest Power Plan (document 2026-3, cover date August 12, 2026), model buildouts workbook

The resources the Council's model selects under each sensitivity of its draft Ninth Plan scenario analysis: a planning scenario, not the plan's recommended resource strategy, not a utility's plan and not a forecast of what will be built. Each sensitivity's portfolio is optimized over the same sampled futures (demand, gas prices, hydro, wind and solar; Appendix K, all-appendices PDF page 480), so there is no future pathway or climate model in the workbook. Units: the Data sheet heads its value column 'Nameplate Cap. (MW)' ('Size in nameplate MW', Glossary!D10), but the plan draws conservation (resource type EE) in average megawatts (Figure 4-1 axis 'Nameplate MW / Conservation aMW', plan PDF page 92; Figure N-6 'average MW', all-appendices PDF page 559), and the EE rows summed over zones reproduce Figure N-6's bars; EE is recorded here in MWa and every other type in MW nameplate. A snapshot lists what the model holds in that simulated year, including resources built in an earlier year; snapshots are never added together, sensitivities are never averaged, and conservation in MWa is never added to capacity in MW. Zones are the Council's own model zones (Glossary!D7: supply-side resources may be built in one zone for another zone's demand), not the atlas frame or a service territory. The plan is draft 2026-3, open for comment through October 16, 2026.

Northwest Power and Conservation Council, draft Ninth Northwest Power Plan (document 2026-3, cover date August 12, 2026), needs assessment workbook

The Council's needs assessment for 2031, the region as a whole: the signals its adequacy model GENESYS hands its capital expansion model OptGen, as a planning reserve margin per season (a fraction above OptGen's seasonal peak load) and an annual firm-energy adequacy reserve margin (a fraction of load), per need study. The existing system without new resources falls short in every study (Reminder About Adequacy Metrics!J20); the margins are what OptGen must build to, not an observation, not a utility's requirement and not a forecast. Loads, resource contributions and the need are MW as the column headers print them; the firm-energy adjustment is aMW (the Council's unit, MWa here) and the average monthly load it is divided by is recorded in MWa; margins are fractions; the monthly duration VaR and its threshold are hours. The five studies share the existing system and load; the load is the High Growth pathway's (Appendix M, PDF page 21). Studies are never averaged, seasons and months never summed, and a fraction, MW and MWa are never combined. The study is final (the file name says so); the plan it supports is draft 2026-3, open for comment through October 16, 2026.

Northwest Power and Conservation Council, 2021 Northwest Power Plan (document 2022-3, March 10, 2022), demand forecast workbook

The Council's regional load forecast for the 2021 Plan, in average megawatts (aMW, this atlas's MWa; All Total Energy Table!G3). A price-effect forecast: it leaves out load reductions from new conservation by design, and each climate run carries one climate model's temperatures for the year, so it is not a forecast of metered load. The expectations ledger shows the nine runs the plan's printed range is drawn from, as printed, beside no computed difference, range or average; the other thirty runs are named there by family and carry no values.

The atlas cites single cells of this workbook in the expectations ledger; it publishes no copy of it and no table of its rows.

Bonneville Power Administration, Final 2026 RHWM outputs (2024-10-01)

BPA's Rate Period High Water Mark for each preference customer for FY 2026-2028 (October 2025 to September 2028), with the customer's Regional Dialogue Contract High Water Mark as used that rate period, its forecast total retail load less new large single loads and existing resources for each fiscal year, and the load BPA forecast above the RHWM. Average megawatts (aMW, the atlas's MWa): the sheet labels its resource column aMW (RHWM!M3) and forms the others from it by subtraction. An RHWM caps how much power a customer may buy at the Tier 1 rate; it is not a delivery, a purchase or a bill, and the forecasts are BPA's of 2024, not measurements.

BPA's one-time FY 2026 calculation of each customer's Provider of Choice Contract High Water Mark, in aMW (Calculation!B5), for contracts delivering power from October 1, 2028. BPA published the final CHWMs on 2026-05-28 after declining the one dispute filed (Wells Rural Electric, 2026-05-14), and states it will not revisit the calculation once final CHWMs are published, though CHWMs may be adjusted in later rate periods under the contracts (CHWM Implementation Policy, 2025-08-14, pages 2-3). A CHWM is a maximum eligibility to buy at the Tier 1 rate over a future contract period, not a current delivery right and not a purchase.

Snohomish County PUD, 2025 Annual Report (April 2026)

The utility's own account of its calendar years. The BPA purchase dollars are from Management's Discussion and Analysis, which the report marks unaudited, rounded there to the million; the audited statements carry purchased power in total, not by supplier. The report gives BPA's share of its energy only as approximate percentages and no BPA megawatt-hours for the same years, so no price per MWh is derived.
