Performance Snapshot

This panel may show a sampled measurement (e.g., power) and/or a cumulative measurement (e.g., energy generated).

When the sampled measurement is available, a gauge and trend chart will appear.

When the cumulative measurement is available, its value will be shown over the date range indicated.

Sampled Value (Gauge and Chart)

Power output (AC)

Cumulative Value

Cumulative net energy generated (energy generated minus energy consumed)

Current Conditions

Feels Like

Represents the temperature you actually feel by factoring in the heat index and wind chill.

Air

Measures outdoor ambient air temperature.

Wind

Measures wind speed and direction.

Precip

The rain gauge's bucket measures rainfall amount over the past 24 hours.

Equivalents Defined

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Emissions

Estimated using annualized CO₂ emitted by U.S. non-baseload electric power plants, avoided at a rate of 7.75x10^-4 tons per kWh. Source: EPA, eGRID electricity reductions emission factor

Passenger Vehicles per Year

Number of vehicles is based on estimated CO₂ emissions from U.S. light-duty vehicles (cars, pickups, SUVs) driven 11,300 miles per year and averaging 21.5 miles per gallon. The resulting conversion is approximately 149 vehicles per year for 1 GWh (1,000,000 kWh). Source: EPA, FHWA passenger vehicles per year

Stadiums Hosting 1 Pro Football Game

The number of pro-football games powered assumes a professional football stadium uses 50 MWh to host a game (10-MW electricity demand over a 5-hour period).

Acres of Forest per Year

Acres of forest are calculated using net CO₂ absorption estimates from trees in "average" U.S. forests (tree growth minus harvesting and decomposition). Source: EPA, IPCC

Homes' Annual Electricity Use

Number of homes is based on annual electricity consumption of an average home in the U.S., including electric transmission and distribution grid losses. Source: EPA, EIA
