Form EIA-906 Database
Monthly Utility Power Plant Database
This is an electric utility
data file that includes information such as net generation, fuel
consumption, fuel stocks, prime mover and fuel type. The data sources are
the surveys, Form EIA-906, "Power Plant Report" and the discontinued Form
EIA-759, "Monthly Power Plant Report." Prior to 1996 all respondents
submitted monthly survey responses. Beginning with 1996, two files are
available for each year:
- The first file (Monthly Data) contains data submitted by
those respondents required to file monthly survey responses, and estimates for those respondents only required to submit one
annual survey response. The data in this file, therefore, also include
for each State: a record for utility ID = "99999" and plant code =
"9999" containing data values which represent the arithmetic differences
between the "estimated" State totals and the sum of the net generation,
consumption, and ending stocks data reported by the respondents on the
form. The current year's file will be a "year-to-date" file and is
maintained in this monthly format until the data for the final month is
finalized.
- The second file (Annual Data) contains data submitted by
those respondents required to file monthly survey responses, and annual
data for those respondents only required to submit one annual survey
response. No estimation procedures are involved.
These
self-extracting zip files expand into:
- 1 DBF file: either Monthly Data (F906utilmyyyy.dbf*)
or Annual Data (F906utilyyyy.dbf*)
- 1 ASCII text file: F906utillayoutyyyy.txt.*
*Note: Substitute the
applicable year for "yyyy" in the file name.
To
expand the file, type F906utilmyyyy.exe* (Monthly Data) or
F906utilyyyy.exe* (Annual Data) from a DOS window, or double
click on the file name from 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."
