Data Standard Deliverables

Southern Company requires suppliers to deliver structured, high-quality asset data to support the full lifecycle of generation assets. The D-18 Asset Data Delivery Standard establishes consistent expectations for how asset data is created, managed, and delivered across all projects.

Asset data must be delivered alongside engineering deliverables and aligned with project design and documentation.
Data can be provided either as:
- Standard deliverables (drawings, specifications, equipment data, and supporting documentation via import sheets), or
- Source system deliverables (databases, models, and native system files with embedded data).
All asset information must align with Southern Company equipment identification requirements (D-11) to ensure consistent tagging and integration.
Standardized import sheets define required data attributes.
Southern Company’s Operations Data Analytics (ODA) team coordinates data transfer methods and supports suppliers through the delivery process.
