QF = Nonutility generating facilities that have obtained status as qualifying facilities under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (qualifying cogen, qualifying small power producers, and exempt wholesale generators). Non-QF = Cogenerators and other nonutility generators that have not obtained qualifying status.
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. · The number of facilities shown includes operational, new, and planned facilities. · Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
