1 Planned additions are for 2001 through 2005.

2 Existing capacity totals include a 13 megawatt expander turbine fueled by hot nitrogen.

3 Includes geothermal, biomass (wood, wood waste, nonwood waste), solar, and wind.

  *  Less than 0.5 megawatts.

 W = Withhedl to avoid disclosure of individual company data.

  Note:  · Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.   Plants sold or transferred to nonutilities are not included in these data.
