EIA Thermoelectric Water Cooling Data
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) collects water cooling data for the electric power industry in the United States. This submission includes annual data from 2014 to 2019. Each spreadsheet details the generator type, fuel consumption, water consumption, cooling type, and equipment status, location, and water source for each plant.
