  NA = Not available.
  R = Revised. 
  Notes: Energy-only providers are wholesale power marketers. IPP are independent power producers and CHP are combined heat and power producers. The data collection instrument was changed in 2001 to collect data at the corporate level, rather than the plant level.  As a result, comparisons with data prior to 2001, and after 2001 should be done with caution. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
