Notes: • The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and

combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. • See Note 1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," at end of section. • Totals may not

equal sum of components due to independent rounding. • Geographic coverage is

the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
