Hydroelectric Plant Construction Cost and Annual Production Expenses - 1980 (Contains Glossary)

摘要

Data for 378 reporting hydroelectric plants in the contiguous United States with an installed capacity of 10 metawatts or greater are detailed. Also covered are 3 plants in Puerto Rico. Federal projects in the US accounted for 46% of the installed capacity of hydroelectric plants and 48% of the hydroelectric generation. Except for TVA, data for federally owned and operated plants are not included in this publication as they were not required to report. As a result, approximately 96 federally owned plants and 28,900 megawatts capacity included in earlier publications are excluded. Therefore, the reader is cautioned against use of these data as statistically representative of any larger universe. Two indexes list names of plants alphabetically by state and alphabetically by plant name. A map of the federal power supply areas and regions is included. A glossary is included.
