Query verified U.S. capacity factor — how hard a fleet actually runs — by joining EIA-860M capacity and EIA-923 generation. Requires `data_month`: one ISO month start, e.g. "2026-01-01". If the user names no month, ask which one (or state the month you chose); if a month is not covered, the error lists the months that are — do not retry blindly. capacity_factor = net generation (MWh) / (operating nameplate capacity (MW) × hours in the month), computed over plant×fuel present in BOTH sources, so scope is auto-aligned. Optional `group_by` of `state` and/or `fuel_group`, and `state`/`fuel_group` filters. Returns the capacity factor per group with its generation and capacity, a `coverage` declaration (what share of in-scope capacity/generation matched), and a citation to BOTH the capacity and the generation source row. Basis is nameplate; storage is excluded; the capacity snapshot is matched to the month. Does not determine per-generator capacity factor, a net-summer/winter basis, or months absent from either source.
