1Anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, waste coal, and coal synfuel. 9Batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, miscellaneous technologies, and,
beginning in 2001, non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived
fuels).
2Distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, petroleum coke, jet fuel, kerosene, other petroleum, and waste oil. 10Net imports equal imports minus exports.  See Note 3, "Electricity Imports and Exports," at end of
section.
3Natural gas, plus a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels. 11Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only.  Beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities,
independent power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants.
4Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. 12Through 1988, data are for electric utilities and industrial plants.  Beginning in 1989, data are for
electric utilities, independent power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants.
5Values are converted from kilowattthours to Btu using the approximate heat rates in Table A6. R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  NA=Not available.  (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.  
6Wood and wood-derived fuels. Notes:  ·  Data are for energy consumed to produce electricity.  Data also include energy consumed to
produce useful thermal output at a small number of electric utility combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants. 
·  This table no longer shows energy consumption by hydroelectric pumped storage plants.  The change
was made because most of the electricity used to pump water into elevated storage reservoirs is generated
by plants other than pumped-storage plants; thus, the associated energy is already accounted for in other
data columns in this table (such as "Conventional Hydroelectric Power," "Coal," "Natural Gas," and so on). 
·  See Note 1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," at end of section.  ·  Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.
7Municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and
other biomass.  Through 2000, also includes non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from
non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived fuels).		 Web Page:  For related information, see http://www.eia.doe.gov/fuelelectric.html.
