NA = Not available. Form EIA-767 data collection was suspended in the data year 2006.
Notes: • Data for 2007 through 2009 reflect a minor revision to the aggregation methodology as compared to previous years. The new methodology takes generator status into account where previously the data only reflected boiler and flue gas desulfurization unit statuses. • Data for Independent Power Producer and Combined Heat and Power plants are included beginning with 2001 data. • Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
