Thermal Power

Thermal power generation data APIs providing access to plant-level operational metrics, fuel consumption, heat rates, and generating capacity for coal, natural gas, petroleum, and nuclear power plants in the United States. Primary data source is the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Open Data API.

Thermal Power publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Capacity API, Plant Operations API, and Power Operations API. Tagged areas include Energy, Thermal Power, Power Generation, Electricity, and Coal.

The Thermal Power catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Thermal Power’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, and 5 more developer resources.
