1See "Primary Energy Consumption" in Glossary. 9Wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat rate—see Table A6).
2Most data are estimates.  See Table 10.2b for notes on series components and estimation. 10Wood and wood-derived fuels; municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste,
agricultural byproducts, and other biomass; fuel ethanol (minus denaturant); and losses and co-products
from the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel.  Through 2000, also includes non-renewable waste
(municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived fuels).
3Natural gas only; excludes the estimated portion of supplemental gaseous fuels.  See Note 1,
"Supplemental Gaseous Fuels," at end of Section 6.		 11Electricity retail sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and, beginning in 1996, other
energy service providers.
4Based on petroleum product supplied.  For petroleum, product supplied is used as an approximation of
petroleum consumption.  See Note 1, "Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum Consumption," at end
of Section 5.		 12Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric power sector minus the
energy content of electricity retail sales.  Total losses are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to
each sector's share of total electricity retail sales.  See Note, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of
section.
5Does not include biofuels that have been blended with petroleum—biofuels are included in "Biomass."  R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  NA=Not available.  – =No data reported.  (s)=Less than +0.5 trillion Btu and
greater than -0.5 trillion Btu.
6Conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat rate—see
Table A6).		 Notes:  ·  The industrial sector includes industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and industrial
electricity-only plants.  See Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors," at end of
Section 8.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
7Geothermal heat pump and direct use energy. Web Page:    See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#consumption for updated monthly and
annual data.
8Photovoltaic (PV) electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat rate—see
Table A6) at industrial plants with capacity of 1 megawatt or greater.		 Sources:  Tables 2.1f, 5.14b, 6.5, 7.3, 7.8, 8.9, 10.2b, A4, A5, and A6.
