1/ Data on purchases from nonutilities were not collected on the Form EIA-861.
2/ These values are not measured; however, they represent losses and unaccounted for energy.  These values are calculated in order that source and disposition of energy are equivalent.
       Notes: · Data are final.  · Annual net generation data shown here should only be used in comparison with other Form EIA-861 data.  Differences in this net generation data and net generation reported on the Form EIA-759, "Monthly Power Plant Report," (Table 1) occur due to the time frame in reporting.  Since the components of net generation are provided monthly by the Form EIA-759 by prime mover and energy source, the Form EIA-759 is used as the official Energy Information Administration source for net generation.  · Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.  · "Sales to Ultimate Consumers" for the years 1996 through 2000 do not include sales by retail power marketers in state-level deregulated markets.  For further information on these transactions see Electric Sales and Revenue for those years.  · The source and disposition of electricity represent the total volume of energy transactions between utilities.  These data should not be summed as they are the aggregation of data reported for each utility and could be double counted due to the nature and types of electricity trade.  · Due to the complexity of electric power transactions that involve specifics of contracts, simultaneous energy transactions, the unintended receipt and delivery of energy (inadvertent flow), and losses, uniformity in reporting the classification and quantity of each transaction among utilities may not exist.
