Notice to Users of Historical Emissions Data:
Between January 30th and February 5th, EIA posted State historical data on power plant emissions that included preliminary data for 2007. Users who downloaded data during this period are advised that the data are being revised, and have been temporarily removed from this site. EIA is working expeditiously to post final State historical power plant emissions data, including 2007 data.
