  NA = Not available. Form EIA-767 data collection was suspended for data year 2006.
  Notes: These data are for plants with a fossil-fueled steam-electric capacity of 100 megawatts or more .  Data for Independent Power Producer and Combined Heat and Power plants are included beginning with 2001 data. Beginning in 2001, data for plant with combustible renewable steam-electric capacity of 10 megawatts or more were also included. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
