1 Anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, waste coal, and synthetic 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 

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.

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 

where more than one energy source is associated with a generator. • Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
