   1 The electric power sector (electric utilities and independent power producers) comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public -- i.e. NAICS 22 plants.  The reported coal consumption is the total for producing electricity and useful thermal output.
   2 Industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and a small number of industrial electricity-only plants.  The reported coal consumption is the total for producing electricity and useful thermal output.
   3 All industrial sector fuel use other than in "Coke Plants" and "Industrial CHP."
   4 Includes commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and a small number of commercial electricity-only plants, such as those at hospitals and universities.  The reported coal consumption is the total for producing electricity and useful thermal output.
   5 All commercial sector fuel use other than that in "Commercial CHP" and residential sector.
    Note:  Total may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
