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. For more information on eGRID please see the following US EPA documentation: eGRID2012TechnicalSupportDocument.pdf. This is an update to the FGDL layer EPAEGRID_FEB11.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. eGRID2012 Version 1.0
eGRID2012 Version 1.0 is the eighth edition of eGRID, which contains the complete release of year 2009 data, as well as year 2007 data contained in eGRID2010 Version 1.1 that was released in May 2011, year 2005 data contained in eGRID2007 Version 1.1 that was released in January 2009, and year 2004 data contained in eGRID2006 Version 2.1 that was released in Spring 2007.
For year 2009 data, all the data are contained in a single Microsoft Excel workbook, which contains boiler, generator, plant, state, power control area, eGRID subregion, NERC region, U.S. total and grid gross loss factor tabs. Full documentation, summary data, eGRID subregion and NERC region representational maps, and GHG emission factors are also released in this edition.
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.
The fourth edition of eGRID, eGRID2002 Version 2.01, containing year 1996 through 2000 data is located on the eGRID Archive page. The current edition of eGRID and the archived edition of eGRID contain the following years of data: 1996 – 2000, 2004, 2005, and 2007. eGRID has no other years of data.
The eGRIDweb application has not yet been updated with the year 2007 or 2009 eGRID data and still contains years 2004 and 2005 eGRID data. It is uncertain when the eGRID application might be updated with the new eGRID data. Because the data in this application is dated, links to the application have been moved to the eGRID Archive page.
EPA welcomes comments on this edition of eGRID. If you have any general comments, questions, or wish to express the value of this information to you, please use the eGRID feedback form. eGRID2012 files

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, from three different federal agencies: EPA, the Energy Information Administration (EIA), 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 per megawatt-hour (lb/MWh) of emissions, which allows direct comparison of the environmental attributes of electricity generation. eGRID also provides aggregated data by state, U.S. total, company, and by three different sets of electric grid boundaries.
Why eGRID?
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 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. Many consumers now have a choice regarding the source of their electricity, and some seek cleaner sources, such as wind and solar power. Data from eGRID underlies EPA's Power Profiler application, which enables individual consumers to identify the environmental impacts of their own electricity usage. Power Profiler is updated with the eGRID2012 year 2009 data.
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.

Process_Description:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency - Process Information: The 1996 eGRID (eGRID96) was first released in December 1998; the 1997 eGRID (eGRID97) with 1996 and 1997 data, was first released in December 1999; and the 2000 eGRID (eGRID2000), with 1996 and 1997 data as in eGRID97, and 1998 data, was released in March and September 2001. The 2002 eGRID (eGRID2002), with preliminary 2000 data, was first released as Version 1.0 in December 2002 and with 1996-2000 data as Version 2.0 in April 2003 and Version 2.01 in May 2003. eGRID2006 Version 1.0, with the year 2004 plant spreadsheet file, was first released in December 2006; Version 2.0, which includes one Excel workbook with an updated plant file, as well as the boiler and generator files for year 2004, was released in early April 2007; and Version 2.1, with the complete set of files – boiler, generator, plant, State, EGC location (operator)- and owner-based, parent company location (operator)- and owner-based, power control area, eGRID subregion, and NERC region – was released in late April 2007 and updated for typos in May 2007.
eGRID2007 Version 1.1, was released by EPA on January 28, 2009 and includes two Excel workbooks with year 2005 data (plant and aggregation) and one Excel workbook with years 2004 and 2005 data (ImportExport). eGRIDweb version 1.0, a web-based eGRID user friendly application with years 2005 and 2004 eGRID2007 data, was released on April 27, 2009 by the U.S. EPA. For further information about this application, which allows the user to select, view, print, and download eGRID data; read the eGRIDweb Users Manual (Pechan, 2009) that can be downloaded from the eGRID website or the Help tab on the application, which can be accessed either at <http://cfpub.epa.gov/egridweb/index.cfm> or through the eGRID website, <http://www.epa.gov/egrid>. This web-based application supplants an earlier one that was downloaded onto a user’s PC and displayed data years 1996-2000 for eGRID2002; see that Users Manual for details (Pechan,2003b).

The newest and sixth edition of eGRID, eGRID2007 Version 1.0, was released in September 2008, published in October 2008, and includes three Excel workbooks with year 2005 data. The year 2004 data are the same as those included in eGRID2006. The three workbooks consist of 12 year 2005 data files -- boiler, generator, plant, State, EGC location (operator)- and owner-based, parent company location (operator)- and owner-based, power control area, eGRID subregion, and NERC region – as well as the State Import-Export files years 2004 and 2005 and a U.S. generation and consumption file for years 2004 and 2005. A web-based eGRID user friendly application is planned for release in 2009. eGRID2007’s date in the name represents the year that the industry data are adjusted to. eGRID2007’s year 2005 data have been reconfigured to reflect the industry’s current structure as was known by December 31, 2007, including plant ownership and operators, parent company affiliations, company mergers, and grid configurations.
Although eGRID is based on more than existing Federal data sources, its development required substantial attention to quality control. Accurate matching of entities from different databases required great care, even where identification codes were available. Inconsistencies between data sources, missing data, and ambiguous data necessitated adjustments to values of individual data elements, especially identification data. In general, however, questionable data have not been altered, except with regard to the relationship of plants to the power grid.

Inconsistencies between data sources, missing data, and ambiguous data necessitated adjustments to values of individual data elements, especially identification data. In general, however, questionable data have not been altered, except with regard to the relationship of plants to the power grid.
eGRID2010’s year 2007 data have been reconfigured to reflect the industry’s current structure as was known by December 31, 2010; including plant ownership and operators, parent company affiliations, company mergers, and grid configurations. eGRID2010 also includes the year 2004 data from eGRID2006, which were configured to reflect the industry’s structure as was known by October 1, 2006; and the year 2005 data from eGRID2007, which were configured to reflect the industry’s structure as was known by December 21, 2008. Only certain eGRID files can be linked from year 2007 to years 2005 and 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 eGRID year 2007 plant data are linked to the year 2005 plant data with the inclusion of the year 2005 plant file’s SEQPLT05 variable in the year 2007 plant file; and linked to the year 2004 plant date with the inclusion of the year 2004 plant file’s SEQPLT04 variable – when the plants match. (Although most plants will match on ORISPL, there are some exceptions, so it is completely accurate to match from year 2007 to 2005 and 2004 using SEQPLT05 and SEQPLT04 respectively).
The year 2007 data are displayed in three workbooks. Two of the workbooks include the aggregation files. The boiler, generator, and plant data are included in the first workbook, the plant workbook. The location (operator)-based spreadsheets for state, electric generating company, parent company, power control area, eGRID subregion, NERC region, and U.S. are included in the second workbook, the aggregation workbook. The owner-based spreadsheet for electric generating company and parent company are also included in the second workbook. State Import-Export data are contained in the third workbook, the ImportExport workbook. The spreadsheets can be downloaded from the EPA eGRID web site, <http://www.epa.gov/egrid>, along with Summary Tables and this document.
The data were originally processed on the EPA IBM mainframe using SAS, the Statistical Analysis System software.
The 12 eGRID2010 aggregation files are: • BLR (boiler), with 3,615 year 2007 records; • GEN (generator), with 16,938 year 2007 records; • PLNT (plant), with 5,172 year 2007 records with non-zero generation and/or unadjusted heat input; • ST (state), with 51 year 2007 records; • EGCL and EGCO (electric generating company), with 1,641 year 2007 records for the location (operator)-based file and 1,839 year 2007 records for the owner-based file, respectively; • PRCL and PRCO (parent company), with 100 year 2007 records in the location (operator)-based file and 106 year 2007 records in the owner-based file, respectively; • PCAL (power control area), with 119 year 2007 records in the location (operator)-based file; • SRL (eGRID subregion), with 26 eGRID subregion year 2007 records in the location (operator)-based file; • NRL (NERC region), with 10 NERC region year 2007 records in the location (operator)-based file; and • US, with 1 year 2007 U.S. totals record.
The number of variables in each of the 12 aggregation files varies, with 34 in BLR, 15 in GEN, 162 in PLNT, 111 in ST, 114 in EGCL and EGCO, 111 in PRCL and PRCO, 111 in PCAL, 112 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 two electric generating company files are sorted by electric generating company name, the two parent company files are sorted by parent company name, 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.
Import-Export Files for years 2004, 2005, and 2007 and the Generation and Consumption file for the U.S. have been included in the third workbook. The state Import-Export data are sorted by state postal code abbreviation, just as the state file is; for eGRID2007, the state Import-Export data are sorted differently from previous years’ data.
The file structure for all the year 2007 files is included in Appendix A. The file structure also includes a description of the variables and the original data sources. The file structure indicates which variables and/or variable descriptions in year 2007 are new or different from those in year 2005.

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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
