      The Thermal Power API provides access to thermal power generation data
      including plant-level operational metrics, fuel consumption, heat rate
      performance, and capacity utilization for coal, natural gas, petroleum,
      and nuclear generation assets. Data sourced from the U.S. Energy
      Information Administration (EIA) Open Data API.
