| 1 Beginning in 2001, anthracite coal receipts were no longer reported separately. From 2001 forward, all anthracite coal receipts have been combined with bituminous coal receipts. 2 Beginning in 2002, data from the historical Form EIA-423 for independent power producers and combined heat and power producers are included in this table. Prior to 2002, these data were not collected; the data for 2001 and previous years include only data collected from electric utilities via the historical FERC Form 423. Notes: • Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. • Beginning in 2008 with the Form EIA-923, fuel receipts, cost, and quality data are imputed for plants between 1 and 50 MW and are included in the data collected from plants at or above the 50 MW threshold. Therefore, there may be a notable increase in fuel receipts beginning with 2008 data. Sources: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Form EIA-923, "Power Plant Operations Report" and predecessor form(s) including Form EIA-423, "Monthly Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants Report" and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), FERC Form 423, "Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants." |
