[1] Small number of electricity-only, non-Combined Heat and Power plants may be included. Note: The number of power plants for each energy source is the number of sites for which the respective energy source was reported as the most predominant energy source for at least one of its generators. If all generators for a site have the same energy source reported as the most predominant, that site will be counted once under that energy source. However, if the most predominant energy source is not the same for all generators within a site, the site is counted more than once, based on the number of most predominant energy sources for generators at a site. In general, this table translates the number of generators by energy source (Table 1.2) into the number of sites represented by the generators for an energy source. Therefore, the count for Total (All Sectors) is the sum of the counts for each sector by energy source and does not necessarily represent unique sites Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-860, "Annual Electric Generator Report."
