Existing fossil plants are retiring on a published schedule, near transmission and pipeline infrastructure that's already built. This site maps those plants, scores them on transmission proximity, gas access, site size, and recent utilization, and adds public data on queues, retirements, and grid fuel mix.
Start with the atlas. Or read in order — each chapter covers one topic.
Every retiring U.S. fossil plant ≥ 100 MW, sortable by distance to high-voltage transmission, distance to interstate gas, site size, and recent capacity factor. The detail card breaks down the readiness score by component.
Median distance to a ≥230 kV substation across these plants: … mi.
Slide through the next decade and see which counties lose the most generating capacity each year. Click a county to read off the specific plants. The atlas above is today's snapshot; this is the full schedule.
Retirements are concentrated in a few years and a handful of counties. This page breaks out the detail that national totals obscure.
Replay ten years of EIA-860M filings, county by county, and watch where fossil capacity is scheduled to retire — the earliest public signal that a site's grid connection might later be reusable. New filings show up as they're published in each monthly archive.
A 120-month time series of county-level retirement filings, built from every EIA-860M monthly archive since 2016.
How many interconnection requests actually get built? Withdrawal rates, median time-to-COD, and resource-mix funnels for every region. Based on LBNL's Queued Up data, split across nine regions.
About 1.8 TW sits in U.S. interconnection queues, but historically most of those projects never reach commercial operation.
The fuel mix on each major U.S. grid varies hour by hour. A 24-hour clock of the typical fuel mix on nine balancing authorities, showing the diurnal pattern that annual averages smooth over.
