Datasets

Existing Hydropower Asset (EHA) Annual Capacity Factor is a geospatial point-level dataset containing annual capacity factors over the years (2005-2021) and key characteristics of operational U.S. hydropower plants with 1 megawatt or greater of nameplate capacity. EIA form 860 and EHA are the primary sources of the derived data. Pumped storage and hybrid plants are […]

Existing Hydropower Asset (EHA) Annual Capacity is a geospatial point-level dataset containing annual capacity over the years (2005-2021) and key characteristics of operational U.S. hydropower plants with 1 megawatt or greater of nameplate capacity. EIA form 860 and EHA are the primary sources of the derived data.

Relicensing is an important milestone in the lifecycle of U.S. FERC-licensed hydropower and pumped storage hydropower (PSH) plants. The terms and conditions of a new license may involve substantial capital investment and changes in mode of operation. Additionally, some licensees decide not to pursue relicensing and instead apply for a license surrender.  The U.S. Hydropower Relicensing […]

US Hydropower Retired Facilities FY2022 database is a geospatially comprehensive point-level dataset containing locations and key characteristics of US hydropower plants that are currently retired.

RectifHyd provides estimated monthly hydroelectric power generation for approximately 1,500 power plants in conterminous United States for the period 2001 through 2020. Monthly generation estimates are created by disaggregating each plant’s annual generation with the aid of reservoir operations and downstream streamflow data. RectifHyd provides an alternative to EIA-923 imputed monthly generation for U.S. hydropower plants.

The Existing Hydropower Assets (EHA) Plant Database is a geospatially comprehensive point-level dataset containing locations and key characteristics of U.S. hydropower plants that are currently operational.

The U.S. Hydropower Development Pipeline database is a snapshot as of December 31, 2021 of locations and key characteristics of U.S. hydropower projects that are in the permitting/licensing/exemption phase and yet to be operational.

The U.S. Non-Powered Dam (NPD) Characteristics Inventory contains data from various sources, including identifiers, locations, and a wide variety of characteristics. These characteristics included describe US NPDs and their surroundings, including attributes related to the physical nature or design of a dam, environmental conditions, safety conditions, socioeconomic aspects, and hydropower development potential. Data may be […]

Dayflow Version 1 (V1) is a historical streamflow reanalysis dataset reconstructed for 36 years (1980-2015). The dataset provides both daily and monthly scale streamflow information at about 2.7 million NHDPlusV2 stream reaches in the conterminous US (CONUS). Dayflow is the result of a nationally scalable modeling framework that integrates the simulated runoff from the Variable […]
