| [1] Includes only independent power producers' combined heat and power facilities. [2] Small number of electricity-only, non-Combined Heat and Power plants may be included. 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.
