Service Description: Power plant locations and characteristics as recorded in the Quarterly Fuel and Energy Report (QFER) database from the California Energy Commission (CEC). Last updated in May 2021
The power plant locations and characteristics are part of the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) critical infrastructure geospatial data sets. The data is derived from the CEC’s QFER-1304 Power Plant Owner Reporting Database and is updated annually. Among other information, a number of identifying attributes are given for each power plant as well as the generator units at each plant, their energy type, the total nameplate capacity, and their owners and operators.
This California Power Plants data set has identical information to the many tables making up the QFER data set, however this single feature layer is derived by condensing several QFER tables into one. Some fields of the original tables have been omitted, and point geometries, determined by each plants’ address fields, have been appended for geospatial display. Four new fields have been compiled from QFER’s Annual Generation Table. These are listed and defined as:
Nameplate Capacity (MW): The total nameplate capacity from every unit that makes up the power plant, regardless of status
Units: List of the unit names at each power plant
Primary Energy Source: A list of the primary energy sources used by every generator at the plant
Last Reported Year: The last year that the power plant was recorded in the Annual Generation Table.
The purpose of this feature layer is to:
Support the CEC/Energy Assessments Division/Supply Analysis Office in electric generation report;
Support the CEC/REAT by providing information on renewable power plant location and capacity;
Support the CEC/STEP/Engineering Office/Geo Science in water management report;
Support CEC/STEP/Siting Office, Compliance Office, Environmental Office, Engineering Office, and /Strategic Transmission Planning and Corridor Designation Office by providing information on power plant location, capacity, fuel type,...
