Note: Data for 2005 and earlier are based primarily on Form EIA-767 data. In 2006, the Form EIA-767 was suspended. Data for 2007 and later are based primarily on Form EIA-860 data. Historic data may be backfilled when necessary. Since generator capacity may change over time, where environmental units are backfilled after the initial year of operation, the more recent capacity value of the associated generator is used. All data for 2006 are inferred based on commercial operating year. The capacity for a small number of generators associated with systems that were reported in different years may be double-counted.
