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.
