  [1] Cost is the total cost incurred for the direct, physical interconnection of generators that started commercial operation in the respective years.  These generator-specific costs may include costs for transmission or distribution lines, transformers, protective devices, substations, switching stations and other equipment necessary for interconnection.
  [2] Electric utility CHP plants are included in Electric Generators, Electric Utilities.
  [3] Includes only independent power producers` combined heat and power facilities.
  [4] Small number of commercial electricity-only plants included.
  [5] Small number of industrial electricity-only plants included.
  Notes: See Glossary reference for definitions. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
