Daily Climate Data for U.S. Power Plants (NASA POWER, 2022–2023)
This dataset contains daily climate variables for a sample of 50 U.S. power plants, obtained from the NASA POWER API for the period 2022-01-01 through 2023-12-31.
Climate variables include daily average, maximum, and minimum temperature, as well as precipitation.
Contents
Each row represents a single plant-day combination (36,500 rows total).

Processing Notes
- Climate variables were downloaded using the NASA POWER daily point endpoint.
- A random sample of 50 plants from the full registry was selected.
- All timestamps were converted to UTC date format.
- Missing or unavailable climate records were omitted.
