  [1] Anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, waste coal, and coal synfuel.
  [2] Distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and waste oil.
  [3] The Percent of Consumption calculation can be affected by a variety of factors, some of which may include: different respondents and response rates for the receipt and consumption surveys; plants may be adding receipts to their stockpiles; plants may be consuming fuel from existing stocks; and combined heat and power plants may be reporting fuel stocks related to non-electric generating activities.
  [4] The years 2002 and beyond include data for electric utilities, independent power producers, and commercial and industrial combined heat and power producers.  The years prior to 2002 include data for electric utilities only.
  NA = Not available.  
  Notes: Due to different reporting requirements between the Form EIA-923 and historical FERC Form 423, the receipts data from 2008 and on are not directly comparable to prior years. For more information, please see the Technical Notes in Appendix C. See Glossary for definitions. Values for 2007 and prior years are final. Values for 2008 and 2009 are preliminary. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Mcf = thousand cubic feet. Monetary values are expressed in nominal terms.
