iThere is a discontinuity in this time series between 1988 and 1989 due to the expanded coverage of renewable
energy sources beginning in 1989.
cPrior to 1980, based on oil used in steam plants.  For 1980 through 2000, residual fuel oil includes fuel oil nos. 4,
5, and 6.
– – = Not applicable.
dPrior to 1980, based on oil used in internal combustion and gas turbine engine plants. For 1980 through 2000,
distillate fuel oil includes fuel oil nos. 1 and 2, and small amounts of kerosene and jet fuel.
Where shown, R = Revised data and (s) = Physical unit value less than +0.5 and greater than -0.5 or Btu value less
than +0.05 and greater than -0.05.
eConventional hydroelectric power.  Includes pumped-storage hydroelectricity, which cannot be separately
identified, from 1960 through 1989.
Note:  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
fWood and waste.  Prior to 2001, includes non-biomass waste. Sources:  Data sources, estimation procedures, and assumptions are described in the Technical Notes.
