Definition

What this measures

Sum of the Nameplate Capacity (MW) column over the generators in the Operating sheet of the latest EIA-860M workbook that carry a Planned Retirement Year and Planned Retirement Month, grouped by that month. One value per future (or recently past) month with at least one planned retirement. This is what owners have reported; retirements are routinely deferred, and a deferred retirement shows up as a revised value for both months in the next file.

Quality and confidence
EIA excludes facilities with total nameplate capacity under 1 MW, so distributed solar is understated. Nameplate capacity, not net summer capacity. Puerto Rico is reported in separate sheets and is not included. Restated from each monthly file; months whose planned retirements change are stored as new rows with the new data month as source_revision.
Ingestion rejects values outside 0 to 200,000 MW.
88 periods with values for this geography, 2026-08-01 to 2072-08-01.
Revisions
Values reported for the latest period (2072-08-01) by each source revision ingested. Earlier rows are never deleted; the newest ingested row is shown as current.
