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 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Capacity API, Plant Operations API, and 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 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
