Summary
Description
This data product depicts the locations of facilities that generate electricity. Only facilities adjacent to the coast and Great Lakes are identified. Contained within the database are records that define the fuel source and other characteristics of the facility that may benefit ocean planners. In some cases, the presence of a facility may indicate that certain power transmission infrastructure exists nearby. Absence of a facility or lack of sufficient capacity at a facility in a given area may also be an important characteristic in future energy planning activities.
