RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: News With regards to Net vs Gross, it almost certainly is net. However occasionally a plant will sell all its produced power Gross and buy power from the grid to run the plant. Razor was doing this with their Thermo plant in Utah. In this case they were buying from the local utility and selling into California. Usually the utility would not allow this or it would be uneconomic for the plant to do.
With regards to online production number in the US, all grid operators have access to numbers like we see in the Nicaragua link but they are not made available to the public, partly for security reasons. It is actually pretty difficult now to even get a paper map of US transmission lines.
