Footnotes:

a Capacity factors are a measure of how often electric generators operate over a specific period of time, using a ratio of actual output (net generation) to the maximum possible output over that same time period (using time-adjusted capacity). A small number of operating generators can lead to volatile capacity factor values, including capacity factors exceeding 100%.

b Usage factors are a measure of how often electric generators operate over a specific period of time, using a ratio of actual output (gross generation) to the maximum possible output over that same time period (using time-adjusted capacity).

c Distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, petroleum coke, jet fuel, kerosene, other petroleum, waste oil, and propane.

d Wood and wood-derived fuels, municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and other biomass.

e Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy at utility-scale facilities. Excludes small-scale solar photovoltaic generators.

— = Not applicable.

Where shown, (s) = Percent value less than 0.05.

Note: Data are for utility-scale facilities only.
