🔔 EIA-861M Net Metering & Distributed Generation Matrix

Structured net-metering and distributed-generation records from the U.S. EIA Form EIA-861M, read directly from the official current-year net_metering<year>.xlsx workbook on www.eia.gov. One record per row across the six net-metering worksheets, carried source-native and verbatim.

Output is one net_metering_record row per result; billing is pay-per-event, the value event being one net metering / dg record (a $0.02 start fee per run, then $0.02 per net metering / dg record). Source: www.eia.gov.

No login, no API key and no CAPTCHA solving are involved: the source is read logged-out with an identified contact User-Agent.

📊 Sample Output

Real rows from run fwHa1oOuMmqIu0sgx on build 0.1.5 (2026-09-19), the same input as the Quick start below — every value is as the source published it (emails masked, long text shortened):

year	month	state	utility_number	utility_name	data_status
2026	6	AK	219	Alaska Power and Telephone Co	Preliminary
2026	5	AK	219	Alaska Power and Telephone Co	Preliminary
2026	4	AK	219	Alaska Power and Telephone Co	Preliminary
2026	3	AK	219	Alaska Power and Telephone Co	Preliminary
2026	2	AK	219	Alaska Power and Telephone Co	Preliminary
2026	1	AK	219	Alaska Power and Telephone Co	Preliminary

The run finished with the status message: NORMAL: 6 unique rows (0 duplicates collapsed) from net_metering2026. billable=6

⚙️ Sample inputs

1. Quick start — the Store example (this is what the sample above came from)

{
  "utilityNumbers": [
    "219"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 50
}

The sample run charged exactly: 2 × $0.02 apify-actor-start + 6 × $0.02 net_metering_record = $0.16 on the Free tier — every delivered row was billed.

2. A smaller, narrowed run

{
  "utilityNumbers": [
    "219"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 5
}

Caps the run at 5 rows — about $0.12 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 5 × $0.02).

3. A full-size run

{
  "utilityNumbers": [
    "219"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 2500
}

Up to 2500 rows (the schema default for maxRecords) — about $50.02 on the Free tier ($0.02 start + 2500 × $0.02) if the source has that many.

4. A filtered run

{
  "utilityNumbers": [
    "219"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 50,
  "fieldMatch": {
    "utility_name": "Alaska Power and Telephone Co"
  }
}

Keeps only rows whose utility_name contains Alaska Power and Telephone Co (a value from the sample run above), matched case-insensitively after the source is read and before the maxRecords cap, so the cap counts matches and only delivered matches are billed. searchText does the same across every column. Zero matches end the run as EMPTY_SELECTION with no row charged — if the source has moved on since that sample run, pick a value you see in your own first run. The source is still read in full — this narrows what you receive and pay for, not what the source serves.

🔧 How it works

Source. The actor reads www.eia.gov — endpoints: https://www.eia.gov, https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/eia861m/, https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/eia861m/xls/net_metering. Public pages and feeds only; nothing behind a login.

Transport. Plain HTTPS from the Apify platform, no proxy. robots.txt is read first and a disallowed path is never fetched. Every request carries an identified contact User-Agent. Pacing: CRAWL_DELAY=0.0.

Terminal states. A run ends NORMAL, CAPPED (your cap was reached), PARTIAL (something was withheld and the message says what), GENUINE_EMPTY (the source was read and truly had nothing in scope) or BLOCKED (the source refused or changed shape — the run FAILS loud and bills nothing). A zero-row run is never reported as a silent success.

Charging. Each net metering / dg record is charged at the moment it is pushed (net_metering_record); a row that fails to charge is not delivered, so the dataset count always equals the charged count.

🔧 How it works

The full technology × metric × customer-class matrix

Each record carries the reported matrix exactly as published — nothing collapsed or recomputed:

technology: Photovoltaic, Battery (PV-paired and not-PV-paired), Wind
metric: Capacity (MW), Customers, Energy Sold Back (MWh), Virtual capacity/customers, PV-paired battery capacity / installations / energy, and more
customer class: Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Transportation, Total

Every cell is a field named <technology>_<metric>_<class> (e.g. photovoltaic_capacity_mw_total, wind_capacity_mw_residential), carried verbatim. Utility-level rows also carry the reporting type (AC / DC).

Aggregate vs utility — never mixed silently

Every record carries an explicit row_type so an aggregate is never mistaken for a single utility:

utility — a reporting utility (Utility_Level sheets)
utility_tpo — a utility's third-party-owned (TPO) systems
tpo_total — a TPO provider total
state_total — an aggregated state total
us_total — the US aggregate

Filter to exactly the row type you want with rowTypes.

Preliminary data & the revision window

EIA-861M is a monthly series. The most recent months are preliminary and are revised over a rolling ~6-month window. The source data_status (Preliminary / Final) is carried verbatim on every record; a revision_note restates the window.

Filters

Supply at least one of utilityNumbers, states, rowTypes, months, or types — the sheets are never emitted in full. maxRecords caps delivery (one charge per delivered record, hard cap 5000).

Integrity, robots & door

A per-sheet schema canary fails loud on header drift. Only the current net_metering<year>.xlsx is read — www.eia.gov/robots.txt disallows /archive/, which is never fetched. No third-party content or logos.

💰 Pricing example

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor Start (`apify-actor-start`)	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02
Net metering / DG record (`net_metering_record`)	$0.02	$0.018	$0.016	$0.0134

Worked at the live Free-tier price:

6 net metering / dg records: $0.02 start + 6 × $0.02 = $0.14
25 net metering / dg records: $0.02 start + 25 × $0.02 = $0.52
2500 net metering / dg records: $0.02 start + 2500 × $0.02 = $50.02

A run that delivers zero rows charges the $0.02 start fee only. A BLOCKED run (source refused) fails loud and charges no value event. The start fee is charged once per GB of run memory; the default run memory is 4096 MB.

Yield on the sample run: NORMAL: 6 unique rows (0 duplicates collapsed) from net_metering2026. billable=6. maxRecords is a hard ceiling on what is delivered and billed, never a target.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

This actor reads public, logged-out pages and feeds published by www.eia.gov. It collects only what the source publishes to any visitor, keeps to the source's robots rules (checked on every run), identifies itself with a contact User-Agent, and does not access accounts, private data or anything behind authentication. Use the output in line with the source's terms and your local law; the intended use is B2B research and monitoring.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need an API key or a login?
A: No. The source (www.eia.gov) is read logged-out; the input schema has no key field and the actor carries no secrets.

Q: Why did my run return 0 rows?
A: Read the run's status message. GENUINE_EMPTY means the source was read and had nothing in scope for your input; BLOCKED means the source refused and the run failed without billing a value event — retry later or narrow the input. A zero-row run bills the start fee only.

Q: How many rows can one run return?
A: Up to maxRecords (default 2500). Raise the cap for a bigger run; you pay per delivered row.

Q: How fresh is the data?
A: Every run reads the source live at run time; nothing is cached between runs. Put it on a schedule for a continuous feed.

Q: What formats can I export?
A: The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the run's Dataset tab or the Apify API, and any run can push to a webhook or integration.

Q: How is this different from the other NexGen Watch actors actors?
A: Same output shape and billing model; this one covers www.eia.gov. The siblings under Related Actors cover the other sources or slices — run several on one schedule for a combined feed.

Q: Are there rate limits?
A: The actor paces itself against the source (CRAWL_DELAY=0.0) and honours its robots rules; there is no per-buyer limit beyond your Apify plan's concurrency.

🆘 Troubleshooting

Run FAILED with BLOCKED → the source refused the request or changed its page shape → nothing was billed beyond the start fee; retry after a while, and if it persists open an Issue with the run id.
Status says CAPPED → your cap (maxRecords) was reached → raise it for a bigger run.
Input validation error on start → a field is outside the schema's allowed values → start from the Quick start block and change one field at a time.
Run TIMED-OUT → a very wide request on a slow day → raise the run timeout in Run options or narrow the input; what was delivered before the timeout is still in the dataset.
