Identify where U.S. power generation is driving water demand and infrastructure needs.
Bluefield’s U.S. Power Plants dashboard provides a facility-level view of the U.S. power generation landscape and its associated water demands. Explore operational and planned generating capacity by state and fuel type, track new capacity additions and retirements, and analyze historical water withdrawals and consumption. The data helps users understand where changes in power generation could influence water demand and create infrastructure needs.
Our data helps our clients address key questions:
- Where is U.S. power generation capacity concentrated, and how is it changing?
- How much water do U.S. power plants withdraw and consume?
- Where are new power generation projects planned, and which technologies are driving capacity additions?
How do I access Bluefield’s data on power plants?
Client access to Bluefield’s Data Navigator platform is available through our Industrial Water Market Corporate Subscription.
Does the dashboard include planned and retired power plants?
Yes. The data includes operating, planned, under-construction, and retired generating units, allowing users to track changes in the U.S. power generation landscape over time.
What information is available for individual power plants?
The dashboard provides plant- and generating unit-level information including plant and entity name, location, generation technology, nameplate capacity, operating status, operating or planned operating year, and planned retirement year.
