1/ There is a discontinuity in capacity 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.
2/ Includes coal, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, coke breeze, fine
coal, liqnite waste, tar coal, and waste coal.
3/ Includes butane, propane, and other gas.
4/ Includes petroleum, petroleum coke, diesel, kerosene, light oil,
liquid butane, liquid propane, oil waste, sludge oil, and tar oil.
5/ Includes natural gas and waste heat.
6/ Includes black liquor, peat, railroad ties, red liquor, sludge
wood, spent sulfite liquor, utility poles, and wood/wood waste, agricultural
byproducts, digester gas, fish oil, liquid acetonitrile waste, landfill
gas, medical waste, methane, municipal solid waste, paper pellets,
sludge waste, solid byproducts, straw, tires, tall oil, and waste
alcohol.
7/ Includes batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam,
and sulfur.
8/ Includes all combustible fuels burned at generating facilities
(not just for the production of electricity).
9/ Includes petroleum coke consumption of 4,427 thousand short tons
for 1998, 2,915 thousand short tons for 1999, and 3,537 thousand short
tons for 2000.
10/ Includes purchases, interchanges, and exchanges of electric energy
with utilities and other nonutilities.
11/ Includes sales, interchanges, and exchanges of electric energy
with utilities.
12/ Includes sales, interchanges, and exchanges of electric energy
with other nonutilities. The disparity in this data and data
reported on other EIA surveys occurs due to differences in the respondent
universe. The Form EIA-860B (prior, Form EIA867) 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 attribute to the disparity.
R = Revised data. Notes:
· The installed capacity is determined
by the primary energy source even if multiple energy sources are indicated
by the respondent. · All data are
for 1 megawatt and greater. · Data
are final. · Totals may not equal
sum of components because of independent rounding. ·
Percent change is calculated before rounding. ·
See the Technical Notes for the methodology for allocating capacity
and generation by energy sources, respectively. Sources:
