Public Utility Data Liberation Project

Description

The Public Utility Data Liberation Project (PUDL) provides analysis-ready U.S. energy system data in bulk for programmatic use. Sources include the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The primary focus is on the electricity sector, with additional data on the natural gas system and energy company financial reporting.

Update Frequency

New outputs published nightly as part of our continuous integration process. New data is integrated on a rolling basis as it is published by the original sources. Agencies typically release data monthly, quarterly, or yearly. New versioned releases of PUDL are published and archived at least once per quarter.
