A comprehensive inventory of all electric power-generating plants in the United States, including existing, standby, out-of-service, retired, and projected units, has been updated. Major sources for the update are the Federal Power Commission (FPC) forms, individual utilities, Electric Reliability Councils, Survey of Electric Generating Stations conducted by the FPC and others, and publications. The report is divided into five sections: definitions and explanations of codes, electric generating units, jointly-owned units, projected units, and summaries. Unit descriptions include county code, company name, unit identification and number, nameplate rate, type of unit, primary fuel consumed, alternate fuel capability, status date, whether jointly owned, and last update. Summaries show generating capacity of existing, projected, and total units (in megawatts and as a percentage) for each State grouped by Region, for nuclear, hydropower, oil, coal, gas, unknown, and other energy sources, with national totals. Beginning with this issue, the report will be published annually. 5 tables, 3 figures.
