Data quality note: Sourced from the Rhode Island Energy Facility Siting Board (EFSB)'s public docket list and each docket's own filed-document list, not the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) — EFSB, a separate three-member board only administratively housed at PUC's office, is the body that actually issues Rhode Island's license for a "major energy facility" (generation ≥40 MW, transmission ≥69 kV, LNG/LPG storage-conversion, and related facility types) under R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-98; PUC's own docket types (rate cases, tariffs, renewable-program compliance, etc.) carry no siting authority. See the ingestion module header for the full statutory citation. EFSB's own docket-list "Status" column is not reliably kept current — confirmed live against two real dockets whose most recent filed order is a genuine final grant, yet the column still read "Open" (one over a month stale, one over a year stale as of this writing). "Still waiting" here is instead determined by scanning each docket's own order/decision documents (excluding known-procedural order types) for real grant/deny/withdrawal language, including inside the order's own PDF text where necessary. See the ingestion module header for the two real stale-status examples and how this was calibrated. Capacity figure is parsed from the docket's own caption text, not a structured field — not independently verified. No structured location field is published; this project will not appear on the map until geocoded another way. applicationFiledDate is approximated as the earliest dated document found in this docket's own filing history, not a dedicated "application filed" field.
