- = No data reported. Notes:
Hydro Conventional does not include pumped storage. Solar includes solar
thermal and photovoltaic. MSW = Municipal Solid Waste. Other Biomass includes
agricultural byproducts/crops, sludge waste and other biomass solids, liquids
and gases. MSW Biogenic includes paper and paper board, wood, food, leather,
textiles and yard trimmings. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding. Sources:
Capacity: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-860, "Annual Electric Generator Report." Generation: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-923, "Power Plant Operations Report."
