Includes electric utilities and independent power producers.
P=Preliminary.
Note:
Revised data are in italics. Electricity net imports derived from
hydroelectric power and geothermal energy are no longer included
in renewable electricity generation data due to the inadequacy
of available data. They continue to be reported in total U.S.
energy consumption as components of electricity net imports, with
fuel sources unspecified. See Table 1 of this report. Totals
may not add due to independent rounding.
