* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 then values under 0.5 are shown as *.) |
NM = Not meaningful due to large relative standard error or excessive percentage change. |
Notes: • See Glossary for definitions. • Values are preliminary. - See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923. • Negative generation denotes that electric power consumed for plant use exceeds gross generation. • Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. • Percentage difference is calculated before rounding. |
