Abstract:
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 recently changed the naming convention of eGRID. The current edition is named with a year corresponding to the year of the data (eGRID2016), while the publication year of the data is 2018. Those changes are reflected in the Title above. For more information on eGRID please see the following EPA documentation: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2018-02/documents/egrid2016_technicalsupportdocument_0.pdf. This is an update to the FGDL layer EPAEGRID_2014.shp.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems 
for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

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.

eGRID2016, released in February 2018, is the twelfth edition of eGRID.
eGRID2016 includes two Excel workbooks, one with English units and one with
metric units, that contain generator and unit spreadsheets as well as spreadsheets
by aggregation level for data year 2016: plant, state, balancing authority, eGRID
subregion, NERC region, and United States. The workbooks also include a
spreadsheet that displays the grid gross loss and the variables that are used in its
estimation for year 2016. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 emission 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 uses data from the Energy Information Administration 
(EIA) Forms EIA-860 and EIA-923 and EPA s Clean Air Markets Program Data. Emission 
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 (i.e., balancing authority area, NERC region, and eGRID subregion).

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.

Summary of eGRID2016 Data

2.1 eGRID Files

eGRID2016 contains electric power data at different levels of aggregation. The eGRID2016 data are
displayed in two workbooks, one with English units of measure and the other with metric units of
measure. As the database name implies, the focus of the data spreadsheets is on two areas: generation
and emissions. In the English unit workbook, 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). Carbon dioxide, NOx, and SO2 emissions are expressed in short tons; CH4, and N2O
emissions are expressed in pounds; emission rates for CO2, NOx, SO2, CH4, and N2O are expressed in
lb/MWh and lb/MMBtu. In the Metric unit workbook, generation is expressed in MWh, Gigajoules
(GJ), and as a percentage. Carbon dioxide, NOx, and SO2 emissions are expressed in metric tons; CH4,
and N2O emissions are expressed in kilograms; emission rates for CO2, NOx, SO2, CH4, and N2O are
expressed in both kg/MWh and kg/GJ. See Table C-7 for a list of English to Metric conversion
factors. 

The eGRID2016 workbooks can be downloaded from the EPA eGRID website,
https://www.epa.gov/energy/egrid, along with Summary Tables and this document. The workbooks
contain eight levels of data aggregation:

*UNIT (unit), with 25,031 records;
*GEN (generator), with 26,183 records;
*PLNT (plant), with 9,709 records;
*ST (state), with 51 records;
*BA (balancing authority), with 72 records;
*SRL (eGRID subregion), with 26 records;
*NRL (NERC region), with 11 records; and
*US, with 1 record.

The unit spreadsheet is sorted by state abbreviation, plant name, plant code, and boiler ID. The
generator spreadsheet is sorted by state abbreviation, plant name, plant code, and generator ID. The
plant spreadsheet is sorted by state abbreviation, plant name, and plant code. The state spreadsheet is
sorted by state abbreviation, the balancing authority spreadsheet is sorted by balancing authority
name, the eGRID subregion spreadsheet is sorted by eGRID subregion name, and the NERC region
spreadsheet is sorted by NERC region acronym. The year 2016 grid gross loss spreadsheet is also
included in the workbook.

The spreadsheet structure for each of the spreadsheets is included in Appendix A. The spreadsheet
structure also includes a description of the variables and the original data sources.

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 3.5 for information on 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.

In addition, although eGRID is based on existing Federal data sources, its development requires
substantial attention to quality control. Accurate matching of entities from different databases requires
great care, even where identification codes are available. Inconsistencies between data sources,
missing data, and ambiguous data necessitate adjustments to values of individual data elements,
especially identification data. In general, however, questionable data are not altered in order to
maintain consistency with the original data sources.

Please note that only certain eGRID spreadsheets can be linked from year 2016 to years 2014, 2012,
2010, 2009, 2007, 2005, or 2004. The spreadsheets that can be linked include the NERC region (by
NERC acronym), eGRID subregion (by eGRID subregion acronym), state (by state abbreviation),
plant (by Office of Regulatory Information Systems Plant [ORISPL] code), and the US.

2.2 What s New in eGRID
There is one major methodological change to eGRID2016. In an effort to keep the eGRID subregion
assignments consistent with previous versions of eGRID, an updated methodology was created for
assigning plants to eGRID subregions. Detailed discussion on these methodology changes can be
found in Section 3.4.2. In addition to this methodological change, there is a small change to output
emission rate units in eGRID2016. Output emission rates for CH4 and N2O are reported in lb/MWh in
eGRID2016 while previous editions of eGRID reported output emission rates for CH4 and N2O in
lb/GWh.

GeoPlan Center downloaded the EPA eGRID2016 year 2016 data in excel 
format from the following EPA website on 06/07/2018. 
https://www.epa.gov/energy/emissions-generation-resource-integrated-database-egrid

Released: 02/15/2018
Downloaded all eGRID2016 Files (ZIP)

Next GeoPlan imported the eGRID2016 PLNT16 excel sheet from the eGRID2016 
excel workbook into ArcMap.

The PLNT16 excel workbook sheet contains 9,709 year 2016 records representing 
electricity generation plants. 
 
The PLNT16 excel workbook sheet was then exported from ArcMap as a Database 
table.

Next the newly created PLNT16.DBF was spatially mapped using the LAT and LON 
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 PLNT16.SHP 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 where 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_2016.SHP

Next all of the field information was Upper Cased, and five fields were added;
 - NOTES
 - NUCLEAR
 - 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.
Planned facilities were designated as (PROPOSED) in the DESCRIPT field. 
Information on closed and proposed facilities was obtained via google and from 
the following website: http://www.energyjustice.net/map/searchfacility-basic.php. 

Certain points were moved, see NOTES field for features altered. One record containing 
no geometry (Desoto County Energy Park) was mapped based on the coordinates of 
the epaegrid_2015 dataset (see NOTES field for more details). Facility address information 
from the following website was used to help better locate the physical locations of 
the facilities:

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.

Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.

A note about data scale: 

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
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
