Abstract: This feature class/shapefile represents electric power plants. Power plants are all the land and land rights, structures and improvements, boiler or reactor vessel equipment, engines and engine-driven generators, turbo generator units, accessory electric equipment, and miscellaneous power plant equipment are grouped together for each individual facility. Included are the following plant types: hydroelectric dams, fossil fuel (coal, natural gas, or oil), nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass.
Purpose: This feature class/shapefile is for the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Database (HIFLD) (https://hifld-geoplatform.hub.arcgis.com/) as well as the Energy modelling and simulation community.

Supplemental information: This feature class/shapefile has a one-to-many relationship class with the "Generating Units" table. This captures the relationship between power plants and their generating units. "Power Plants" feature class/shapefile is the origin using PLANT_CODE as the primary key. "Generating Units" table is the destination using PLANT_CODE as the foreign key.

Data Quality

Scope of quality information:
Level of the data:dataset
Resource lineage:
Process step:
Description: Authoritative data sources are identified through open source research. That data is then acquired and transformed into a usable data format. The properly formatted data then goes through preprocessing steps that includes a geocoding operation to give spatial context to the data. After preprocessing, every record goes through a review process and each point is moved to a facility based on-entity location based on interpretation of the best available imagery and open source information. The VAL_DATE field indicates the date in which the review step took place.

Data quality report:
Conceptual consistency:
Measure produced by the test: Data were extracted from sources (identified in the SOURCE field) and other open source websites to populate the attribute fields. For string and date data types, NOT AVAILABLE values denote missing data that was not present in the source data. For numeric data types, -999999 denote missing data that was not present in the source data. During quality control, attributes were checked to ensure that they fell within the expected ranges or had expected/valid values. Text attribute values were checked for spelling and usage consistency. No topology tests were conducted. All records were verified to occur within the spatial domain of the feature class/shapefile.
