Footnotes:

a Includes supplemental gaseous fuels that are commingled with natural gas.

b Wood, wood-derived fuels, and biomass waste. Beginning in 2006, includes small amount of other biomass liquids that are biodiesel. Prior to 2001, includes non-biomass waste.

c Electricity imported from Canada and Mexico.

d There are no direct fuel costs for hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, or wind energy.

Where shown, R = Revised data, — = No consumption, and (s) = Value less than 0.05 million dollars.

Notes: · Expenditure totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. · The electric power sector consists of electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. · Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only. Beginning in 1989, data include independent power producers.
