Hourly Electricity Demand by State

This archive contains the output of the Public Utility Data Liberation (PUDL) Project state electricity demand allocation analysis, as of the v0.4.0 release of the PUDL Python package. Here is the script that produced this output. It was run using the Docker container and processed data that are included in PUDL Data Release v2.0.0.

The analysis uses hourly electricity demand reported at the balancing authority and utility level in the FERC 714 (data archive), and service territories for utilities and balancing authorities inferred from the counties served by each utility, and the utilities that make up each balancing authority in the EIA 861 (data archive), to estimate the total hourly electricity demand for each US state.

We used the total electricity sales by state reported in the EIA 861 as a scaling factor to ensure that the magnitude of electricity sales is roughly correct, and obtains the shape of the demand curve from the hourly planning area demand reported in the FERC 714. The scaling is necessary partly due to imperfections in the historical utility and balancing authority service territory maps which we have been able to reconstruct from the data reported in the EIA 861 Service Territories and Balancing Authority tables.

The compilation of historical service territories based on the EIA 861 data is somewhat manual and could be improved, but overall the results seem reasonable. Additional predictive spatial variables will be required to obtain more granular electricity demand estimates (e.g. at the county level).
