  Notes: See Glossary reference for definitions. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. In some reporting of capacity data, such as for wind, solar and wave energy sites, the capacity for multiple generators is reported in a single generator record and is presented as a single generator in the count of number of generators.
