This will excite only a very niche audience, but we've released v1.0 of our #FERC #XBRL extraction library, which consumes the taxonomies and filings published by FERC via RSS and uses them to build #SQLite databases that are much more amenable to analytical usage. it works for FERC Forms 1, 2, 6, 60, and 714 which started using XBRL in 2021. We're now working on integrating the 2022 data.

We're still working on getting the 2022 #FERC data integrated, after fixing an issue one of our users reported, where ~7% of the FERC Form 1 data was being dropped when we extracted it from #XBRL to SQLite due to irregularities in utility reporting:

#Solar, #wind provided majority of new US generating capacity in first half of 2023
Utility-scale solar and wind provided over half of new US generating capacity added in the first half of 2023, according to new Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (#FERC) data. 17,017 megawatts (MW) of new generating capacity placed in service through June 30, 2023, 5,867 MW (34.48%) came from solar, and 2,750 MW (16.16%) came from wind for a combined total of 50.64%.

A nice long discussion between @drvolts & @chazteplin on the current challenges with renewable energy getting connected to the US grid. PJM has ~3000 projects in their queue. Nominally more than 1TW of renewables is waiting. #FERC is trying to spread some best practices, but it's a huge bottleneck that will dampen the impact of the IRA. #EnergyMastodon #EnergyTransition #Transmission

Hey #EnergyMastodon, we finally got set up here so I guess we should do an #introduction

Catalyst is an all-remote worker #Cooperative focused on open #DataEngineering, analysis, and open source software. We mostly work with public US data related to the energy system, pulling together information from #FERC, #EIA, #EPA, and other agencies and trying to turn it into analysis-ready database tables so advocates, policymakers, & researchers can focus on their own novel work instead.

@aripeskoe are you going to be posting here about #FERC #InterconnectRule ?

Cleaning up the mess of calculation metadata that describe the relationships between values reported in the #FERC Form 1 data. #DataViz #PyData #EnergyTransition #EnergyTwitter #EnergyMastodon

Here we've got utility income statements, before and after pruning the DAG to make it into a nice nested tree. Even without labeling the nodes, it's been really helpful to see the graph structure for debugging errors in the published calculations!

The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission recently spent a workshop highlighting under-appreciated gas & electric system interconnectivity. Gas routinely leaks into electric infra, yet is never discussed. In #NewtonMA, #NationalGrid gas leaks into #FERC-regulated #Eversource utility holes to explosive levels. Our city & state officials know but stay silent.

Colored by which schedule of the #FERC Form 1 the data comes from, and after doing a bunch of data repair to get the various calculations hooked up and remove duplicate connections that were resulting in a DAG rather than a tree structure.

The defenders of the old guard continue pushing their narratives.

Perhaps natural gas transmission pipelines, and the markets they operate within, have inefficiencies that contribute to electricity grid stress.
