1/ Electric utility and nonutility values (capability versus capacity,
net versus gross generation, total emissions versus emission for the
production of electricity) may not be summed directly--see Technical
Notes for summation methodology.
2/ Data are based on the initial commercial operation year for the
generator.
3/ In 1999, the useful utility thermal output produced additional
emissions of 175 thousand short tons of sulfur dioxide, 64 thousand
short tons of nitrogen oxides, and 18,647 thousand short tons of carbon
dioxide. In 2000, the useful utility thermal output produced
additional emissions of 137 thousand short tons of sulfur dioxide,
65 thousand short tons of nitrogen oxides, and 21,171 thousand short
tons of carbon dioxide. In 1999, the useful nonutility thermal
output produced additional emissions of 675 thousand short tons of
sulfur dioxide, 539 thousand short tons of nitrogen oxides, and 127,000
thousand short tons of carbon dioxide. In 2000 the useful nonutility
thermal output produced additional emissions of 663 thousand short
tons of sulfur dioxide, 228 thousand short tons of nitrogen oxides,
and 179,301 thousand short tons of carbon dioxide.
4/ The report, "Carbon Dioxide Emissions from the Generation of Electric
Power in the United States," presented carbon dioxide emissions of
2,265,325 thousand short tons in 1999 and 2,361,535 thousand short
tons in 2000. The nonutility data were revised since the release
of that report.
5/ Net summer capability based on primary energy source; waste gases,
and waste steam are included in the original primary energy source
(i.e., coal, petroleum, or gas)--historical data have been revised
to reflect this change.
6/ Includes wood, wood waste, peat, wood liquors, railroad ties, wood
sludge, municipal solid waste, agricultural byproduct, straw, tires,
landfill gases, fish oils.
7/ Includes petroleum coke.
8/ Represents total pumped storage facility production minus energy
used for pumping. Negative generation denotes that electric
power consumed for plant use exceeds gross generation.
9/ For 1999 includes 211 megawatts multi-fueled capacity and 13 megawatts
fueled by hot nitrogen; for 2000 includes 13 megawatts fueled by hot
nitrogen.
10/ Includes petroleum coke consumption of 1,608 thousand short tons
in 1999 and 1,132 thousand short tons in 2000.
11/ Does not include petroleum coke stocks of 355 thousand short tons
at year end 1999 and 186 thousand short tons at year end 2000.
12/ Does not include petroleum coke receipts of 2,906 thousand short
tons in 1999 and 1,683 thousand short tons in 2000.
13/ Includes small amounts of coke-oven, refinery, blast furnance
gas, and landfill gas.
14/ Average cost of fuel delivered to electric generating plants with
a total steam-electric nameplate capacity of 50 or more megawatts;
average cost values are weighted by Btu.
15/ Does not include petroleum coke cost of 65.4 cents per million
Btu in 1999 and 59.4 cents per million Btu in 2000.
16/ All sales are bundled and therefore do not include power marketers
(non-traditional energy service providers) relating to the restructuring
of the electric power industry. For 1999 and 2000, these sales
were 76.2 million megawatthours and 111.92 million (adjusted) megawatthours,
respectively. For more detailed information regarding sales
in restructed markets, see the Energy Information Administration's
publication, Electric Sales and Revenue (DOE/EIA-0540) for the appropriate
year.
17/ Includes public street and highway lighting, other sales to public
authorities, sales to railroads and railways, and interdepartmental
sales.
18/ Includes only those power plants with a fossil-fueled steam-electric
nameplate capacity (existing or planned) of 10 or more megawatts.
See Technical Notes for emission factors used for calculation of carbon
dioxide emission factors.
19/ There is a discontinuity in capability estimates between 1999
and earlier years due to a change in reporting practices. In
1999 for the first time respondents self identified the facility's
primary energy source resulting in a reclassification compared to
earlier years in some cases.
20/ Includes coal, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, coke breeze, fine
coal, lignite waste, tar coal, and waste coal.
21/ Includes natural gas, waste heat, butane, propane, and other gas.
22/ Includes petroleum, petroleum coke, diesel, kerosene, light oil,
liquid butane, liquid propane, oil waste, sludge oil, and tar oil.
23/ Includes batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam,
and sulfur.
24/ Includes consumption for useful thermal output. For 1999,
included were 16 million short tons of coal, 22 million barrels of
petroleum, and 752 billion cubic feet of gas. For 2000, included
were 16 million short tons of coal, 21 million barrels of petroleum,
and 749 billion cubic feet of gas.
25/ Includes petroleum coke consumption of 2,915 thousand short tons
for 1999 and 3,537 thousand short tons for 2000.
26/ Includes butane, propane, and other gas,
27/ Includes purchases, interchanges, and exchanges of electric energy
with utilities and other nonutilities.
28/ Includes sales, interchanges, and exchanges of electric energy
with utilities and other nonutilities. The disparity in these
data and data reported on other EIA surveys occurs due to differences
in the respondent universe. The Form EIA-860B is filed by nonutilities
reporting the energy delivered, while other data sources are filed
by electric utilities reporting energy received. Differences
in terminology and accounting procedures contribute to the disparity.
