The vast majority of energy consumed in Colorado is still derived from fossil fuels. In order to provide the context for renewable energy in Colorado, CEP includes fossil fuels data. The mapped data below shows electric generation facilities in Colorado, including independent power producers and combined heat and power producers. Data is available for 105 electric power production facilities in Colorado at the Facility level. This includes generation from; coal, natural gas, petroleum, hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass.
This information is a compilation of EIA 906/920 data and EPA EGrid data.
Form EIA-906 and EIA-920 Databases
The EIA-906, EIA-920, and predecessor forms provide monthly and annual data on generation and fuel consumption at the power plant and prime mover level. Data for utility plants is available from 1970 onward, and for non-utility plants from 1999. We are extracting data for 1999-present.
EPA eGRID
The Emissions and Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive inventory of environmental attributes of electric power systems. eGRID is the preeminent source of air emissions data for the electric power sector and is based on available plant-specific data for all U.S. electricity generating plants that provide power to the electric grid and report data to the U.S. government. eGRID contains air emissions data for nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), mercury (Hg), and new this year (2008 report of 2005 data), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
