Monthly Power Plant Report, 1991 - April 1994

Title: Monthly power plant report [electronic resource]

  • Distribution Media: 5 1/4" diskettes
  • SuDoc Number: E3.11/17-13:

Abstract: The Monthly Power Plant Report contains monthly data (Jan 1991 - Apr 1994) reported on Form EIA-759, "Monthly Power Plant Report." These electric utility data files include information such as net generation, fuel consumption, fuel stocks, prime mover and fuel type.

Extent of Collection: The distribution media contained DOS WordPerfect DOS ASCII record layout files and DOS self extracting compressed files. The 1992 DOS self extracting file contained two DOS file compression utility programs, PKZIP.EXE and PKZIPFIX.EXE.

Data Conversion: The original DOS WordPerfect and DOS ASCII record layout files were replaced by ASCII record layout files from DOE/EIA because the DOE/EIA files include the variable types as well as variable value codes in the record layouts. The DOS compressed files were extracted and are available in their original rectangular non-delimited DOS ASCII formats. The decompressed data files were translated to ASCII CSV format. Variable labels were added to the translated files. For more information about data conversion, see File Processing and Quality Control.

Minimum Software Requirements: (1) Software capable of reading ASCII text files. (2) Statistical software capable of importing ASCII CSV data files.

  • ASCII text - text files can be read by most file viewers and word processing software.
  • ASCII data - text data files can be imported into most statistical and database software. Data values may or may not use separators. Common separators are commas (ASCII CSV), tabs or spaces.

Files: DOS ASCII files contain carriage return characters. ASCII files do not contain cariage return characters. For information about downloading these files, see Downloading Tips.
