   [1] Represents the number of plants for which receipts data were collected for this month. The same plant using more than one fuel may be counted multiple times. The total number of electric power plants using coal, petroleum liquids, petroleum coke, and natural gas in the country as of January 1, 2003 are 633; 1,130; 18; and 1,651 respectively.
    [2] Anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, waste coal, and synthetic coal.
    [3] Distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and waste oil.
    [4] Natural gas, including a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels that cannot be identified separately.
    [5] Electric Utilities includes a small number of regulated NAICS-22 CHP plants.
    
[6] Independent Power Producers includes unregulated NAICS-22 CHP plants.
    [7] Commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants with NAICS other than 22; includes a small number of commercial electricity-only plants.
    [8] Industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants with NAICS other than 22; includes a small number of industrial electricity-only plants.
   Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. bbls = barrels. Mcf = thousand cubic feet.
