GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive inventory of environmental attributes of electric power systems. The preeminent source of air emissions data for the electric power sector, eGRID is based on available plant-specific data for all State of Florida electricity generating plants that provide power to the electric grid and report data to the U.S. government. eGRID contains air emissions data for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and mercury. The information includes fuel consumption, generation, and emissions data, along with plant identification, location, and structural information for nearly all electric generators in the State of Florida. Please note: The EPA has changed the naming convention of eGRID. The current edition is named with a year corresponding to the time period of content of the data (eGRID2012), while the publication year of the data is 2015. Those changes are reflected in the Title above. For more information on eGRID please see the following EPA documentation: https://www.epa.gov/energy/egrid2012-technical-support-document. This is an update to the FGDL layer EPAEGRID_FEB14.shp.

eGRID

The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a 
comprehensive source of data on the environmental characteristics of almost all 
electric power generated in the United States. These environmental 
characteristics include air emissions for nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon 
dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide; emissions rates; net generation; resource mix; 
and many other attributes.

eGRID2012 is the tenth edition of eGRID, which contains the 
complete release of year 2012 data.

The tenth edition of eGRID released in September 2015 includes one Excel workbook 
with year 2012 data. The eGRID workbook includes the following 
data files: boiler, generator, plant, state, power control area, eGRID subregion,
NERC region, and U.S. -- and a ninth file that displays the grid gross loss and 
the variables that are used in its estimation for year 2012.

A Technical Support Document describes the sources and uses of data, the 
methodologies used for estimating emissions, changes from previous editions, all 
data elements (in the file structure), and other information. Summary Tables of 
select eGRID data are also provided.

What is eGRID?
The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a 
comprehensive inventory of environmental attributes of electric power systems. 
The preeminent source of air emissions data for the electric power sector, eGRID 
is based on available plant-specific data for all U.S. electricity generating plants
 that provide power to the electric grid and report data to the U.S. government. 
eGRID integrates many different federal data sources on power plants and 
power companies, including, but not limited to: EPA, the Energy Information 
Administration (EIA), the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), 
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Emissions data from EPA 
are carefully integrated with generation data from EIA to produce useful values 
like pounds of emissions per megawatt-hour of electricity generation (lb/MWh), 
which allows direct comparison of the environmental attributes of electricity generation. 
eGRID also provides aggregated data by state, U.S. total, and by three different sets 
of electric grid boundaries.

Why eGRID?
Many consumers now have a choice regarding the source of their electricity, and 
some seek cleaner sources, such as wind and solar power. EPA s Power Profiler 
application, which uses eGRID data, helps individual consumers to understand the 
environmental impacts of their own electricity usage. Electricity generation is the 
dominant industrial source of air emissions in the United States today. Whenever you 
switch on an electrical appliance, chances are you are contributing to air pollution 
and greenhouse gas emissions. By documenting the environmental attributes of electric 
power generation, eGRID can help consumers and researchers to better understand 
the relationship between electricity and the environment.

In the United States, electricity is generated in many different ways, with a wide variation 
in environmental impacts. In many states, power companies are required to disclose 
the environmental attributes of their retail electricity products. eGRID data can be used 
to support the following activities:
     
     * Greenhouse gas registries and inventories;
     * Carbon footprinting; 
     * Consumer information disclosure;
     * Renewable portfolio standards;
     * Development of emissions inventories and emission standards;
     * Analysis of changing power markets; and
     * Estimation of avoided emissions.

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems 
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data. 

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Summary of eGRID2012 Data

2.1 eGRID Files

eGRID2012 contains electric power data at different levels of aggregation. As the database name
implies, the focus of the data files is on two areas: generation and emissions. Generation is expressed
in both MWh and as a percentage (called "resource mix" - generation of a certain fuel or resource
type divided by total generation). CO2, NOx, and SO2 emissions are expressed in tons (short tons, not
metric tons) and CH4, and N2O emissions are expressed in pounds. Emission rates are expressed in
lb/MWh, lb/MMBtu for CO2, NOx, and SO2; in lb/GWh for CH4, and N2O.

Users should take note that eGRID s emissions and emission rates are calculated at the sources of
generation and do not account for losses from transmission and distribution infrastructures. Please
refer to Section 3.1.9.3 on p. 16 for how to account for line losses when assigning emission rates to
estimate indirect emissions associated with electricity purchases. Aggregated eGRID data only
account for U.S. generation that takes place within the aggregated area and do not account for any
electricity that is imported from or exported to other areas. The grid gross loss calculation, however,
does account for U.S. regional interchanges with other U.S. regions as well as Canada and Mexico.
The naming convention of previous editions of eGRID caused some confusion, which is why the
current edition is named with a year corresponding to the year of the data. Previous editions have also
been renamed to standardize the naming convention. Please note that only certain eGRID files can be
linked from year 2012to years 2010, 2009, 2007, 2005, or 2004. The files that can be linked include
the NERC region (by NERC acronym), eGRID subregion (by eGRID subregion acronym), state (by
postal state abbreviation), plant (by eGRID plant sequence number), and U.S.

The eGRID2012 plant data are linked to the year 2010 plant data by the inclusion of the plant file s
year 2010 plant sequence number (SEQPLT10). The eGRID2012 plant file also includes the plant
sequence number from years 2009, 2007, 2005, and 2004. Although most plants will match on Office
of Regulatory Information Systems PLant (ORISPL) code, there are some exceptions, so it is more
accurate to match plants in eGRID from year to year using the plant sequence numbers provided.
The eGRID2012 data are displayed in one workbook. This workbook includes a Table of Contents;
the boiler, generator, plant, state, power control area, eGRID subregion, NERC region, and U.S. files;
and the 2012 grid gross loss file. The workbook can be downloaded from the EPA eGRID web site,
http://www2.epa.gov/energy/egrid, along with Summary Tables and this document.

The data were originally processed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software.

The eight data aggregation files for eGRID2012 data are:
     *BLR (boiler), with 5,544 year 2012 records;
     *GEN (generator), with 22,654 year 2012 records;
     *PLNT (plant), with 7,286 year 2012 records with unadjusted heat input;
     *ST (state), with 51 year 2012 records;
     *PCAL (power control area), with 120 year 2012 records in the file;

     *SRL (eGRID subregion), with 26 eGRID subregion year 2012 records in the file;
     *NRL (NERC region), with 10 NERC region year 2012 records in the file; and
     *US, with 1 year 2012 U.S. totals record.

The number of variables in each of the eight aggregation files varies, with 35 in BLR, 16 in GEN, 167
in PLNT, 111 in ST, 111 in PCAL, 113 in SRL, 111 in NRL, and 109 in US. The first variable in
each file is a unique sequence number for that file. The boiler file is sorted by state postal code
abbreviation, plant name, plant code, and boiler ID. The generator file is sorted by state postal code
abbreviation, plant name, plant code, and generator ID. The plant file is sorted by state postal code
abbreviation, plant name, and plant code. The state file is sorted by state postal code abbreviation, the
power control area file is sorted by power control area name, the eGRID subregion file is sorted by
eGRID subregion name, and the NERC region file is sorted by NERC region acronym. The year 2012
grid gross loss file is also included as the last tab in the workbook.
The file structure for each of the files is included in Appendix A. The file structure also includes a
description of the variables and the original data sources.

2.2 What s New in eGRID
There are no data file changes in this edition of eGRID. Methodological changes in eGRID2012 include 
the following:

     *All plants and associated generators are included in eGRID2012. In previous editions of eGRID,
      units with zero generation were not included in the final data file. This change was made so that
      the universe of generators in eGRID would match the universe of generators used in estimating
      the state-level CO2 emission rate baselines for the Clean Power Plan Final Rule.

     *The methodology used to derive the national-fuel and state-fuel content average has changed, and
      is now calculated from EIA-923 Schedule 3A, rather than Schedule 2 due to modifications on
      reporting requirements to EIA-923 survey starting in year 2012.

     *Some latitude-longitude coordinates have been updated based on independent research.
     
Methodological changes are detailed in Section 3, the Methodology Section. Previous years of 
eGRID data (2010, 2009, 2007, 2005, 2004, and 2000-1996) are unchanged with the release of 
this edition. Please refer to the corresponding Technical Support Documents issued with previous 
editions for methodologies specific to those years of data.

GeoPlan Center downloaded the EPA eGRID2012 year 2012 data in excel format from the following EPA website on April 18, 2016. https://www.epa.gov/energy/egrid eGRID2012 Released: 10/08/2015 Download all eGRID2012 files (ZIP) Next GeoPlan imported the eGRID2012 - PLNT12 excel workbook sheet into ArcMap. The PLNT12 excel workbook sheet contains 7,286 year 2012 records representing electricity generation plants. The PLNT12 excel workbook sheet was then exported from ArcMap as a Database table. Next the newly created PLNT12.DBF was spatially mapped using the LAT and LONG fields containing decimal degrees to 4 decimal places spatial information. Records with no latitude/longitude information were removed from the data set. Next the newly created PLNT12.SHP's projection was defined as GCS_WGS_1984, and then it was reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD 83 HARN projection. Next a selection was performed on the State FIPS ID field whereas it was equal to 12 (i.e. the State of Florida). Several other power plants that skirted the Florida border were also included. Next the selection was exported to a new shapefile called EPAEGRID_2012.SHP Next all of the field information was Upper Cased, fields containing no information were deleted, and five fields were added; - NOTES - NUCLEAR - MGRS - DESCRIPT based on PNAME. - FGDLAQDATE based on the date the data was downloaded from the Source. Facilities no longer in operation were designated as (CLOSED) in the DESCRIPT field. Certain points were moved, see NOTES field for features altered. Facility address information from the following website was used to help better locate these facilities physical locations: http://www.energyjustice.net/map/searchfacility-basic.php Process Date: 20160418
