| [1] Anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, and waste coal. [2] Distillate fuel oil (all diesel and No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils), residual fuel oil (No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils and bunker C fuel oil), jet fuel, kerosene, petroleum coke (converted to liquid petroleum, see Technical Notes for conversion methodology), and waste oil. [3] Includes a small number of generators for which waste heat is the primary energy source. [4] Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. [5] Conventional hydroelectric power excluding pumped storage facilities. [6] Wood, black liquor, other wood waste, municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agriculture byproducts, other biomass, geothermal, solar thermal, photovoltaic energy, and wind. [7] Pumped storage capacity generates electricity from water pumped to an elevated reservoir and then released through a conduit to turbine generators located at a lower level. [8] Batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuels and miscellaneous technologies. [9] Small number of electricity-only, non-Combined Heat and Power plants may be included. [R] Revised. Notes: • See Glossary reference for definitions. • Capacity by energy source is based on the capacity associated with the energy source reported as the most predominant (primary) one, where more than one energy source is associated with a generator. •Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
