1"Net Electricity" is the sum of purchases, transfers in, and onsite generation from noncombustible
renewable energy sources, minus quantities sold and transferred out; it excludes onsite generation from
combustible fuels.		 7Excludes steam and hot water.
2Liquefied petroleum gases. – – = Not applicable.  (s)=Estimate less than 0.5. Q=Withheld because relative standard error is greater
than 50 percent.
3Natural gas liquids. Notes:  ·  Data are estimates for the total consumption of energy for the production of heat, power, and
electricity generation, regardless of where the energy was produced.  Specifically, the estimates include the
quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite and purchased by or transferred to the
establishment, plus those that were produced onsite from other energy or input materials not classified as
energy, or were extracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells.  ·  Allocations to end uses are made on the
basis of reasonable approximations by respondents.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding, the presence of estimates that round to zero, and the presence of estimates that are
withheld because the relative standard error is greater than 50 percent.
4Excludes coal coke and breeze. Web Page:  For related information, see http://www.eia.gov/emeu/mecs.
