a Total capacity whose primary energy source is landfill gas or MSW.
b Agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
c Black liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids.
PV=Photovoltaic.
MSW=Municipal Solid Waste.
* =Less than 500 kilowatts.
Note: Dash indicates the state has no data to report for that energy source. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Data for 2007 is preliminary.
