  NA = Not available. 
  R = Revised. 
  Notes: Energy-only providers are wholesale and retail power marketers. IPP are independent power producers and CHP are combined heat and power producers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. 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.
  Source: Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-861, "Annual Electric Power Industry Report." For unregulated entities prior to 2001, Form EIA-860B, "Annual Electric Generator Report - Nonutility," and predecessor forms; and Form EIA-923, "Power Plant Operations Report" for 2007 and predecessor form(s) for earlier years.
