Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous and lignite coal. Starting in 2002 waste coal is included in all coal metrics 

except for year-end stocks. Starting in 2002 Synthetic coal is included in all coal metrics. Starting in 2011 Coal-derived synthesis gas 

is included in all coal metrics. Prior to 2011 coal-derived synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

Petroleum includes 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 coke (converted to liquid petroleum, see Technical Notes for conversion 

methodology) and waste oil. Prior to 2011 propane was in the Other Gas category. Beginning in 2004 small quantities of waste oil 

were excluded from petroleum stocks.

Natural gas includes a small number of generators for which waste heat is the primary energy source. Natural gas also includes a 

small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels that cannot be identified separately.

Prior to 2011, synthesis gas derived from petroleum coke was in the Other Gas category. Other Gas includes blast furnace gas, 

propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels.

Conventional hydroelectric power excludes pumped storage facilities.

Wood and wood derived fuels include wood/wood waste solids (including paper pellets, railroad ties, utility poles, wood chips, bark, 

and wood waste solids), wood waste liquids (red liquor, sludge wood, spent sulfite liquor, and other wood-based liquids), and black 

liquor.

Other biomass includes biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, other biomass solids, 

other biomass liquids, and other biomass gases (including digester gases, methane, and other biomass gases). The reported 

summer capacity for other biomass also includes non-biogenic municipal solid waste.

Pumped storage is the capacity to generate electricity from water previously pumped to an elevated reservoir and then released 

through a conduit to turbine generators located at a lower level. The generation from a hydroelectric pumped storage facility is the 

net value of production minus the energy used for pumping.

Other energy sources include batteries, hydrogen, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuels and other miscellaneous energy 

sources, and for generation values, non-biogenic muncipal solid waste.
Table 1.2. Summary Statistics for the United States, 2002 - 2012

Costs of fuels for 2002 through 2007 include data from the Form EIA-423 for independent power producers, commercial powerproducing facilities, and industrial power-producing facilities. Beginning in 2008, data are collected on the Form EIA-923 for utilities, 

independent power producers, commerical power-producing facilities, and industrial power-producing facilities. Receipts, cost, and 

quality data are collected from plants above a 50 MW threshold, and imputed for plants between 1 and 50 MW. Therefore, there 

may be a notable increase in fuel receipts beginning with 2008 data. Receipts of coal include imported coal.

N/A = Not available.

Notes: See Glossary reference for definitions. See Technical Notes Appendix for conversion to different units of measure. Capacity by 

energy source is based on the capacity associated with the energy source reported as the most predominant (primary) one, where 

more than one energy source is associated with a generator. Dual-fired capacity returned to respective fuel categories for current 

and all historical years. New fuel switchable capacity tables have replaced dual-fired breakouts. Totals may not equal sum of 

components because of independent rounding.

Pursuant to applicable Texas statutes establishing competitive electricity markets within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), all 

customers served by Retail Energy Providers must be provided bundled energy and delivery services, so they are included under "Full-Service 

Providers".

Full-Service Providers sell bundled electricity services (e.g., both energy and delivery) to end users. Full-Service Providers may purchase 

electricity from others (such as Independent Power Producers or other Full-Service Providers) prior to delivery. Direct sales from independent 

facility generators to end use consumers are reported under Full-Service Providers. Energy-Only Providers sell energy to end use customers; 

incumbent utility distribution firms provide Delivery-Only Services for these customers.

Direct Use represents commercial and industrial facility use of onsite net electricity generation; and electricity sales or transfers to adjacent or co-located facilities for which revenue 

information is not available.

Pursuant to applicable Texas statutes establishing competitive electricity markets within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), all customers served by Retail Energy Providers 

must be provided bundled energy and delivery services, so they are included under "Full-Service Providers".

Full-Service Providers sell bundled electricity services (e.g., both energy and delivery) to end users. Full-Service Providers may purchase electricity from others (such as Independent Power 

Producers or other Full-Service Providers) prior to delivery. Direct sales from independent facility generators to end use consumers are reported under Full-Service Providers. Energy-Only 

Providers sell energy to end use customers; incumbent utility distribution firms provide Delivery-Only Services for these customers.

industrial customers based on either NAICS codes or demands or usage falling within specified limits by rate schedule. Changes from year to year in consumer counts, 

sales and revenues, particularly involving the commercial and industrial consumer sectors, may result from respondent implementation of changes in the definitions of 

consumers, and reclassifications. Retail sales and net generation may not correspond exactly for a particular month for a variety of reasons (i.e., sales data may include 

purchases of electricity from nonutilities or imported electricity). Net generation is for the calendar month while retail sales and associated revenue accumulate from bills 

collected for periods of time (28 to 35 days) that vary dependent upon customer class and consumption occurring in and outside the calendar month.

Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and waste coal; synthetic coal and refined coal; and beginning in 2011, coal-derived synthesis gas. Prior to 2011 coal-derived 

synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

Petroleum Liquids includes distillate and residual fuel oils, jet fuel, kerosene, waste oil, and beginning in 2011, propane. Prior to 2011 propane was included in Other Gases.

Petroleum Coke includes petroleum coke-derived synthesis gas. Prior to 2011, petroleum coke-derived synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

Other Gas includes blast furnace gas and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. Prior to 2011, Other Gas included propane and synthesis gases.

See the Technical Notes for fuel conversion factors.

Renewable Sources include wood, black liquor, other wood waste, biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agriculture byproducts, other biomass, geothermal, and solar 

thermal.

Other includes non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, hydrogen, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuel, and other miscellaneous energy sources.

Notes: Beginning with 2001 data, non-biogenic municipal solid waste and tire-derived fuels are reclassified as non-renewable energy sources and included in Other. Biogenic municipal solid 

waste is included in Other Renewable Sources.

Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology for separating the fuel used for electricity generation and useful thermal output from combined heat and power 

plants changed. The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information.

See Glossary for definitions. Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. NM=Not meaningful due to large standard error. W=Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data.

Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and waste coal; synthetic coal and refined coal; and beginning in 2011, coal-derived synthesis gas. Prior to 2011 coal-derived 

synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

Petroleum Liquids includes distillate and residual fuel oils, jet fuel, kerosene, waste oil, and beginning in 2011, propane. Prior to 2011 propane was included in Other Gases.

Petroleum Coke includes petroleum coke-derived synthesis gas. Prior to 2011, petroleum coke-derived synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

Other Gas includes blast furnace gas and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. Prior to 2011, Other Gas included propane and synthesis gases.

See the Technical Notes for fuel conversion factors.

Renewable Sources include wood, black liquor, other wood waste, biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agriculture byproducts, other biomass, geothermal, and solar 

thermal.

Other includes non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, hydrogen, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuel, and other miscellaneous energy sources.

Notes: Beginning with 2001 data, non-biogenic municipal solid waste and tire-derived fuels are reclassified as non-renewable energy sources and included in Other. Biogenic municipal solid 

waste is included in Other Renewable Sources.

Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology for separating the fuel used for electricity generation and useful thermal output from combined heat and power 

plants changed. The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information.

See Glossary for definitions. Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Industrial Sector

Notes: The number of power plants for each energy source is the number of sites for which the respective energy source was reported as the most predominant energy source for at least one of its generators. If all 

generators for a site have the same energy source reported as the most predominant, that site will be counted once under that energy source. However, if the most predominant energy source is not the same for all 

generators within a site, the site is counted more than once, based on the number of most predominant energy sources for generators at a site. In general, this table translates the number of generators by energy 

source into the number of sites represented by the generators for an energy source. Therefore, the count for Total (All Sectors) above is the sum of the counts for each sector by energy source and does not 

necessarily represent unique sites. In addition, changes to predominant energy sources and status codes from year to year may result in changes to previously-posted data.

Capacity by energy source is based on the capacity associated with the energy source reported as the most predominant (primary) one, where more than one energy source is associated with a generator.

In 2011, EIA corrected the NAICS codes of several plants which resulted in a net capacity shift from the electric utility sector to the commercial sector.

(red liquor, sludge wood, spent sulfite liquor, and other wood-based liquids), and black liquor.

Other Biomass include municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, other biomass solids, other biomass liquids, and other biomass gases (including 

digester gases, methane, and other biomass gases).

Other Energy Sources include batteries, hydrogen, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuels and other miscellaneous energy sources.

Capacity by energy source is based on the capacity associated with the energy source reported as the most predominant (primary) one, where more than one energy source is 

associated with a generator.

In the case of some wind, solar and wave energy sites, the capacity for multiple generators is reported in a single generator record and is presented as a single generator in 

the generator count.

Other Changes to Existing Capacity reflect uprates, derates, repowerings, and changes to previously reported generator capacity.

Distributed and Dispersed generator data in 2005 include a significant number of generators reported by one respondent, which may be for residential applications.

Prior to 2010, data contains generators over and under 1 MW, from 2010 forward, data contains only generators under 1 MW.

Distributed generators are commercial and industrial generators which are connected to the grid. Dispersed generators are commercial and industrial generators which are not connected 

to the grid. Both types may be installed at or near a customer`s site, or at other locations. They may be owned by either the customers of the distribution utility or by the utility. Other 

includes generators for which technology is not specified.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation and 

consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and waste coal; synthetic coal and refined coal; and beginning in 2011, coal-derived 

synthesis gas. Prior to 2011 coal-derived synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

See the Technical Notes for fuel conversion factors.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation and 

consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, and waste coal; synthetic coal and refined coal; and beginning in 2011, coal-derived 

synthesis gas. Prior to 2011 coal-derived synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

See the Technical Notes for fuel conversion factors.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Sources: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-906, Power Plant Report; U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-920 Combined 

Heat and Power Plant Report, and predecessor forms.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation and 

consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Petroleum Liquids includes distillate and residual fuel oils, jet fuel, kerosene, waste oil, and beginning in 2011, propane. Prior to 2011 propane was 

included in Other Gases.

See the Technical Notes for fuel conversion factors.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation and 

consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Petroleum Coke includes petroleum coke-derived synthesis gas. Prior to 2011, petroleum coke-derived synthesis gas was included in Other Gases.

See the Technical Notes for fuel conversion factors.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation and 

consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation 

and consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation 

and consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology to allocate total fuel consumption for electricity generation 

and consumption for useful thermal output was changed.

The new methodology was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further information. See Glossary for 

definitions.

Values are final. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Table 8.1. Average Operating Heat Rate for Selected Energy Sources,

2002 through 2012 (Btu per Kilowatthour)

Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous and lignite coal. Waste coal and synthetic coal are included starting in 2002.

Petroleum includes distillate fuel oil (all diesel and No. 1 and No. 2 fuel oils), residual fuel oil (No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils and bunker C fuel oil, jet 

fuel, kerosene, petroleum coke, and waste oil.

Notes:

Included in the calculation for coal, petroleum, and natural gas average operating heat rate are electric power plants in the utility and independent 

power producer sectors.

Combined heat and power plants, and all plants in the commercial and industrial sectors are excluded from the calculations.

The nuclear average heat rate is the weighted average tested heat rate for nuclear units as reported on the Form EIA-860.

Fuel Total

Hydroelectric category consists of both conventional hydroelectric and pumped storage.

Gas Turbine and Small Scale category consists of gas turbine, internal combustion, photovoltaic, and wind plants.

 Notes: Expenses are average expenses weighted by net generation. A mill is a monetary cost and billing unit equal to 1/1000 of 

the U.S. dollar (equivalent to 1/10 of one cent).

 Total may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

Notes:

Peak load represents an hour of a day during the associated peak period.

The Summer peak period begins on June 1 and extends through September 30.

The Winter peak period begins October 1 and extends through May 31.

Historically the MRO, RFC, SERC, and SPP regional boundaries were altered as utilities changed reliability organizations. The historical data series for these regions have not been adjusted. Instead, the Balance of Eastern 

Region category was introduced to provide a consistent trend of the Eastern interconnection.

ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN dissolved at the end of 2005. Many of the former utility members joined RFC. Reliability First Corporation (RFC) came into existence on January 1, 2006. RFC submitted a consolidated filing

NERC region and reliability assessment area maps are provided on EIA's Electricity Reliability web page: http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/electricity/page/eia411/eia411.html

Net Internal Demand represent the system demand that is planned for by the electric power industry`s reliability authority and is equal to Internal Demand less Direct Control Load Management and Interruptible Demand.

Capacity Resources: Utility and nonutility-owned generating capacity that is existing or in various stages of planning or construction, less inoperable capacity, plus planned capacity purchases from other resources, less 

planned capacity sales.

Capacity Margin is the amount of unused available capability of an electric power system at peak load as a percentage of capacity resources.

The Summer peak period begins on June 1 and extends through September 30.

Historically the MRO, RFC, SERC, and SPP regional boundaries were altered as utilities changed reliability organizations. The historical data series for these regions have not been adjusted. Instead, the Balance of Eastern 

Region category was introduced to provide a consistent trend of the Eastern interconnection.

ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN dissolved at the end of 2005. Many of the former utility members joined RFC. Reliability First Corporation (RFC) came into existence on January 1, 2006. RFC submitted a consolidated filing 

covering the historical NERC regions of ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN.

Net Internal Demand represent the system demand that is planned for by the electric power industry`s reliability authority and is equal to Internal Demand less Direct Control Load Management and Interruptible Demand.

Capacity Resources: Utility and nonutility-owned generating capacity that is existing or in various stages of planning or construction, less inoperable capacity, plus planned capacity purchases from other resources, less 

planned capacity sales.

Capacity Margin is the amount of unused available capability of an electric power system at peak load as a percentage of capacity resources.

The Winter peak period begins October 1 and extends through May 31.

Historically the MRO, RFC, SERC, and SPP regional boundaries were altered as utilities changed reliability organizations. The historical data series for these regions have not been adjusted. Instead, the Balance of Eastern 

Region category was introduced to provide a consistent trend of the Eastern interconnection.

ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN dissolved at the end of 2005. Many of the former utility members joined RFC. Reliability First Corporation (RFC) came into existence on January 1, 2006. RFC submitted a consolidated filing 

covering the historical NERC regions of ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN.

Circuit miles do not equal physical miles on the ground; the reference terminology for that concept is structural mile.

Some structures were designed and then built to carry future transmission circuits in order to handle expected growth in new capability requirements.

Lines are taken out of service for a variety of reasons including intentional changes to the right-of-way to better useavailable land for different levels of voltage and types of poles and 

towers.

An Automatic Outage is an outage which results from the automatic operation of a switching device, causing an Element to change from an In-Service State to a not In-Service State.

A Sustained Outage is an automatic outage with an outage duration of a minute or greater.

A Non-Automatic Outage is an outage which results from the manual operation (including supervisory control) of a switching device, causing an element to change from an In-Service 

State to a not In-Service State.

An Operational Outage is a Non-Automatic Outage for the purpose of avoiding an emergency (i.e., risk to human life, damage to equipment, damage to property) or to maintain the 

system within operational limits and that cannot be deferred.

A Planned Outage is a Non-Automatic Outage with advance notice for the purpose of maintenance, construction, inspection, testing, or planned activities by third parties that may be 

deferred.

Table 10.5. Demand-Side Management Program Direct and Indirect Costs,

2002 through 2012 (Thousand Dollars)

Direct Costs reflect electric utility costs incurred during the year that are identified with Energy Efficiency and Load 

Management. Total Costs are the sum of Direct and Indirect Costs.

Previously, this table included only large respondents. Now it includes large and small respondents, combined.

For the total cost data, prior to 2010, both large and small respondents reported total costs, however small respondents did not 

break out the costs into direct and indirect. The direct and indirect costs were reported for large respondents only. Therefore, 

prior to 2010 the total cost does not equal the sum of the direct and indirect costs.

Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Technical Notes

This appendix describes how the U.S. Energy Information Administration collects, estimates, and reports 

electric power data in the Electric Power Annual. 

Data Quality and Submission

The Electric Power Annual (EPA) is prepared by the Office of Electricity, Renewables, and Uranium 

Statistics (ERUS), U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). ERUS 

performs routine reviews of the data collection respondent frames, survey forms, and reviews the 

quality of the data received. 

Data are entered directly by respondents into the ERUS Internet Data Collection (IDC) system. A small 

number of hard copy forms are keyed into the system by ERUS personnel. All data are subject to review 

via interactive edits built into the IDC system, internal quality assurance reports, and review by ERUS 

subject matter experts. Questionable data values are verified through contacts with respondents, and 

survey non-respondents are identified and contacted. 

IDC edits include both deterministic checks, in which records are checked for the presence of data in 

required fields, and statistical checks, in which the data are checked against a range of values based on 

historical data values and for logical or mathematical consistency with data elements reported in the 

survey. Discrepancies found in the data, as a result of these checks, must either be corrected by the 

respondent or the respondent must enter an explanation as to why the data are correct. If these 

explanations are unsatisfactory the respondent is contacted by EIA for clarification or corrected data.

Those respondents unable to use the electronic reporting method provide the data in hard copy, 

typically via fax and email. These data are manually entered into the computerized database and are 

subjected to the same data edits as those performed during e-filing by the respondent.

Reliability of Data

Annual survey data have non-sampling errors. Non-sampling errors can be attributed to many sources: 

(1) inability to obtain complete information about all cases (i.e., non-response); (2) response errors; (3) 

definitional difficulties; (4) differences in the interpretation of questions; (5) mistakes in recording or 

coding the data; and (6) other errors of collection, response, coverage, and estimation for missing data. 

Although no direct measurement of the biases due to non-sampling errors can be obtained, 

precautionary steps were taken in all phases of the frame development and data collection, processing, 

and tabulation processes to minimize their influence. 

Imputation: If the reported values appear to be in error and the data issue cannot be resolved with the 

respondent, or if the facility is a non-respondent, a regression methodology is used to impute for the 

facility. The regression methodology relies on other data to make estimates for erroneous or missing 

responses. The basis for the current methodology involves a 'borrowing of strength' technique for small 

domains.1

Data Revision Procedure

The EPA presents the most current and complete data available to the EIA. The statistics may differ from 

those published previously in EIA publications due to corrections, revisions, or other adjustments to the 

data subsequent to its original release.

After data are disseminated as final, revisions will be considered if a correction would make a difference 

of 1 percent or greater at the national level. Revisions for differences that do not meet the 1 percent or 

greater threshold will be determined by the Office Director. In either case, the proposed revision will be 

subject to the EIA revision policy concerning how it affects other EIA products.

Sensitive Data (Formerly Identified as Data Confidentiality): Most of the data collected on the electric 

power surveys are not considered business sensitive. However, the data that are classified as sensitive 

are handled by ERUS consistent with EIA's “Policy on the Disclosure of Individually Identifiable Energy 

Information in the Possession of the EIA” (45 Federal Register 59812 (1980)). 

Rounding and Percent Change Calculations

Rounding Rules for Data: To round a number to n digits (decimal places), add one unit to the nth digit if 

the (n+1) digit is 5 or larger and keep the nth digit unchanged if the (n+1) digit is less than 5. The symbol 

for a number rounded to zero is (*).

Percent Change: The following formula is used to calculate percent changes:

Percent Change = 

where x (t1) and x (t2) denote the quantity at period t1 and subsequent period t2.

Data Sources for Electric Power Annual

Data published in the EPA are compiled from forms filed annually or aggregated to an annual basis from 

monthly forms (see figure on EIA Electric Industry Data Collection in Appendix A). The respondents to 

these forms include electric utilities, other generators and sellers of electricity, and North American 

Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reliability entities. The EIA forms used are:

 Form EIA-411, “Coordinated Bulk Power Supply Program Report;” 

 Form EIA-826, “ Monthly Electric Utility Sales and Revenues with State Distributions 

Report;”

 Form EIA-860, “Annual Electric Generator Report;”

 Form EIA-861, “Annual Electric Power Industry Report;”

 Form EIA-861S, “Annual Electric Power Industry Report (Short Form);”

 Form EIA-923, "Power Plant Operations Report."

These forms can be found on the EIA Internet website at: 

http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/electricity/page/forms.html.

Survey data from other Federal sources are also utilized for this publication. They include: 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

 FERC Form 1, “Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Others;” 

 U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utility Service Form 7, “Financial and 

Statistical Report;” and 

 USDA Rural Utility Service Form 12, “Operating Report – Financial.”

In addition to the above-named forms, the historical data published in the EPA are compiled from the 

following inactive forms: 

 Form EIA-412, “Annual Electric Industry Financial Report,” FERC Form 423, “Cost and 

Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants,” 

 Form EIA-423, “Monthly Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants Report;” 

 Form EIA-759, “Monthly Power Plant Report,” 

 Form EIA-767, “Steam-Electric Plant Operation and Design Report;” 

 Form EIA-860A, “Annual Electric Generator Report–Utility,” 

 Form EIA-860B, “Annual Electric Generator Report–Nonutility,” 

 Form EIA-867, “Annual Nonutility Power Producer Report,”

 Form EIA-900, “Monthly Nonutility Power Report,” 

 Form EIA-906, “Power Plant Report;” and

 Form EIA-920, “Combined Heat and Power Plant Report.” 

Additionally, some data reported in this publication were acquired from public reports of the National 

Energy Board of Canada on electricity imports and exports.

Meanings of Symbols Appearing in Tables: The following symbols have the meaning described below:

* The value reported is less than half of the smallest unit of measure, but is greater than zero.

P Indicates a preliminary value.

W Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data.

NM Data value is not meaningful, either (1) when compared to the same value for the previous time 

period, or (2) when a data value is not meaningful due to having a high Relative Standard Error 

(RSE).

(*) Usage of this symbol indicates a number rounded to zero.

Form EIA-411

The information reported on the mandatory Form EIA-411 includes: (1) actual energy and peak demand 

for the preceding year and five additional years; (2) existing and future generating capacity and capacity 

reserve margins; (3) scheduled capacity transfers; (4) projections of capacity, demand, purchases, sales, 

and scheduled maintenance; (5) power flow cases; and (6) bulk power system maps. The data is 

collected for EIA by NERC from NERC regional reliability entities, which in turn aggregate reports from 

regional members. Non-member data is also included. The compiled data is reviewed and edited by 

NERC and submitted to EIA annually on July 15. The data undergoes additional review by EIA. EIA 

resolves any quality issues with NERC.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

Instrument and Design History: The Form EIA-411 program was initiated under the Federal Power 

Commission (FPC) Docket R-362, Reliability and Adequacy of Electric Service, and Orders 383-2, 383-3, 

and 383-4. The DOE, established in October 1977, assumed the responsibility for this activity. The 

responsibility for collecting these data was delegated to the Office of Emergency Planning and 

Operations within the DOE and was transferred to EIA for the reporting year 1996. Until 2008, this form 

was voluntary. The data are collected under the authority of the Federal Power Act (Public Law 88-280), 

the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), and the DOE Organization Act (Public 

Law 95-91).

Issues within Historical Data Series: The Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC) separated itself 

from the Southeastern Electric Reliability Council (SERC) in the mid-1990s and all time series data have 

been adjusted. In 1998, several utilities realigned from Southwest Power Pool (SPP) to SERC. 

Adjustments were made to the information to account for the separation and to address the tracking of 

shared reserve capacity that was under long-term contracts with multiple members. Name changes 

altered the Mid-Continent Area Power Pool (MAPP) to the Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO) and 

the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC) to the Western Electricity Coordinating Council 

(WECC). The MRO membership boundaries have altered over time, but WECC membership boundaries 

have not. The utilities in the associated regional entity identified as the Alaska System Coordination 

Council (ASCC) dropped their formal participation in NERC. (Alaska and, obviously, Hawaii are not

electrically interconnected with the coterminous 48 States).

At the close of calendar year 2005, the following reliability regional councils were dissolved: East 

Central Area Reliability Coordination Agreement (ECAR), Mid-Atlantic Area Council (MAAC), and MidAmerica Interconnected Network (MAIN). On January 1, 2006, the ReliabilityFirst Corporation (RFC) 

came into existence as a new regional reliability council. Individual utility membership in the former 

ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN councils mostly shifted to RFC. However, adjustments in membership, as 

utilities joined or left various reliability councils, impacted MRO, SERC, and SPP. The Texas Regional 

Entity (TRE) was formed to handle the regional reliability responsibilities of the Electric Reliability 

Council of Texas (ERCOT). The revised delegation agreements covering all the regions were approved by 

the FERC on March 21, 2008. Reliability Councils that are unchanged include: Florida Reliability 

Coordinating Council (FRCC), Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC), and the Western Electricity 

Coordinating Council (WECC). The historical time series have not been adjusted to account for individual 

membership shifts.

The current NERC regional entity names are as follows: 

 Florida Reliability Coordinating Council (FRCC), 

 Midwest Reliability Organization (MRO), 

 Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC), 

 ReliabilityFirst Corporation (RFC), 

 Southeastern Electric Reliability Council (SERC), 

 Southwest Power Pool (SPP), 

 Texas Regional Entity (TRE), and 

 Western Energy Coordinating Council (WECC). 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

Changes Introduced in 2011: Starting in 2011, NERC modified the bulk power system reporting regions 

(in contrast to regional reliability entity organizational boundaries) to align them with electric market 

operations. Consequently, reliability data will be reported for the PJM and MISO regional transmission 

organization areas and the MAPP area rather than for the MRO and RFC regional areas. This new 

framework, along with the other NERC regions, now forms the bulk power system reliability assessment 

areas.

Historically the MRO, RFC, SERC, and SPP regional boundaries were altered as utilities changed reliability 

organizations. In published EIA reports the historical data series for these regions have not been 

adjusted. Instead, starting in 2011, EIA has introduced the Balance of Eastern Region category to 

provide a consistent trend for the Eastern interconnection.

Concept of Demand within the EIA-411: The EIA-411 uses the following categorization of electricity 

demand:

 Net Internal Demand: Internal Demand less Direct Control Load Management and 

Interruptible Demand.

 Internal Demand: To collect these data, NERC develops a Total Internal Demand that is 

the sum of the metered (net) outputs of all generators within the system and the 

metered line flows into the system, less the metered line flows out of the system. The 

demand of station service or auxiliary needs (such as fan motors, pump motors, and 

other equipment essential to the operation of the generating units) is not included nor 

are any requirement customer (utility) load or capacity found behind the line meters on 

the system.

 Direct Control Load Management: Demand-Side Management that is under the direct 

control of the system operator. DCLM may control the electric supply to individual 

appliances or equipment on customer premises; it does not included Interruptible 

Demand.

 Interruptible Demand: The magnitude of customer demand that, in accordance with 

contractual arrangements, can be interrupted at the time of the Regional Council’s 

seasonal peak by direct control of the System Operator or by action of the customer at 

the direct request of the System Operator.

For additional information on demand, refer to the NERC’s Long-Term Reliability Assessments at 

http://www.nerc.com/page.php?cid=4|61.

Sensitive Data: Power flow cases and maps are considered business sensitive. 

Form EIA-412 (Terminated)

The Form EIA-412 was used annually to collect accounting, financial, and operating data from publicly 

owned electric utilities engaged in the generation, transmission, or distribution of electricity which had 

150,000 megawatthours of sales to ultimate consumers and/or 150,000 megawatthours of sales for 

resale for the two previous years. Data was collected annually.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

Beginning with the 2001 data collection, the plant statistics reported on Schedule 9 were also collected 

from unregulated entities that own plants with a nameplate capacity of 10 megawatts or greater. 

Beginning with the 2003 collection, the transmission data reported in Schedules 10 and 11 were 

collected from each generation and transmission cooperative owning transmission lines having a 

nominal voltage of 132 kilovolts or greater. 

Instrument and Design History: The FPC created the FPC Form 1M in 1961 as a mandatory survey. It 

became the responsibility of the EIA in October 1977 when the FPC was merged with DOE and renamed 

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). In 1979, the FPC Form 1M was superseded by the 

Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA) Form ERA-412 and in January 1980 by the Form EIA-412. 

The criteria used to select the respondents for this survey fit approximately 500 publicly owned electric 

utilities. Federal electric utilities were required to file the Form EIA-412. The financial data for the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers (except for Saint Mary's Falls at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan); the U.S. 

Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation; and the U.S. International Boundary and Water 

Commission were collected on the Form EIA-412 from the Federal power marketing administrations. 

The form was terminated after the 2003 data year. 

Issues within Historical Data Series: For 2001 - 2003, the California Department of Water Resources 

(CDWR) Electric Energy Fund data were included in the EIA-412 data tables. In response to the energy 

shortfall in California, in 2001 the California State legislature authorized the CDWR, using its undamaged 

borrowing capability, to enter the wholesale markets on behalf of the California retail customers 

effective on January 17, 2001 and for the period ending December 31, 2002. Their 2001 revenue 

collected was $5,501,000,000 with purchased power costs of $12,055,000,000. Their 2002 revenue 

collected was $4,210,000,000 with purchased power costs of $3,827,749,811. Their 2003 revenue 

collected was $4,627,000,000 with purchased power costs of $4,732,000,000. The California Public 

Utility Commission was required by statute to establish the procedures for retail revenue recovery 

mechanisms for their purchase power costs in the future.

Sensitive Data: The nonutility data collected on Schedule 9 “Electric Generating Plant Statistics” for 

“Cost of Plant” and “Production Expenses,” are considered business sensitive. . 

Form EIA-423 (Replaced in 2008 by the Form EIA-923)

The Form EIA-423, “Monthly Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants Report,” collected the cost and 

quality of fossil fuels delivered to nonutility plants to produce electricity. These plants included 

independent power producers (including those facilities that formerly reported on the FERC Form 423) 

and commercial and industrial combined heat and power (CHP) producers whose total fossil-fueled 

nameplate generating capacity was 50 or more megawatts (MW). (CHP plants are sometimes referred 

to as co-generators. They produce heat, such as steam for use in a manufacturing process, along with 

electricity).

Instrument and Design History: The Form EIA-4232 was implemented in January 2002 to collect 

monthly cost and quality data for fossil fuel receipts from owners or operators of nonutility electricity
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

generating plants. It was terminated on January 1, 2008, and replaced by the Form EIA-923, "Power 

Plant Operations Report."

Issues within Historical Data Series: Natural gas values do not include blast furnace gas or other gas. 

Sensitive Data: Plant fuel cost data collected on the survey are considered business sensitive. State- and 

national-level aggregations are published if sufficient data are available to avoid disclosure of individual 

company and plant level costs.

FERC Form 423 (Replaced in 2008 by Form EIA-923)

The FERC Form 423, “Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of Fuels for Electric Plants,” was administered 

by FERC. The data were downloaded from the Commission’s website into an EIA database. The Form 

was filed by approximately 600 regulated plants. To meet the criteria for filing, a plant must have had a 

total steam turbine electric generating capacity and/or combined-cycle (gas turbine with associated 

steam turbine) generating capacity of 50 or more megawatts. Only fuel delivered for use in steamturbine and combined-cycle units was reported. Fuel received for use in gas-turbine or internalcombustion units that was not associated with a combined-cycle operation was not reported. The FERC 

Form 423 was replaced after 2007 by the Form EIA-923. 

Instrument and Design History: On July 7, 1972, the FPC issued Order Number 453 enacting the New 

Code of Federal Regulations, Section 141.61, creating the FPC Form 423. Originally, the form was used to 

collect data only on fossil steam plants, but was amended in 1974 to include data on internalcombustion and combustion-turbine units. When DOE was formed in 1977, most of FPC became FERC. 

The FERC Form 423 replaced the FPC Form 423 in January 1983. The FERC Form 423 dropped standalone combustion turbines. In addition, the generator nameplate capacity threshold was changed from 

25 megawatts to 50 megawatts. This reduction in coverage eliminated approximately 50 utilities and 

250 plants. All historical FPC Form 423 data in this publication were revised to reflect the new 

generator-nameplate-capacity threshold of 50 or more megawatts reported on the FERC Form 423. In 

January 1991, the collection of data on the FERC Form 423 was extended to include combined cycle 

units. Historical data have not been revised to include these units. On January 1, 2008, EIA assumed 

responsibility for collection of these data and both the utility and nonutility plants began to report their 

cost and quality of fuels information on Schedule 2 of Form EIA-923, "Power Plant Operations Report.".

Issues within Historical Data Series: These data were collected by FERC for regulatory rather than 

statistical and publication purposes. EIA did not attempt to resolve any late filing issues in the FERC 

Form 423 survey. The data were quality reviewed by EIA and when possible quality issues were resolved 

with FERC. 

Natural gas values for 2001 forward do not include blast furnace gas or other gas. 

Due to the estimation procedure described below in the discussion of the Form EIA-923, 2003 and later 

data cannot be directly compared to previous years’ data. 

Sensitive Data: Data collected on FERC Form 423 are not business sensitive.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

Form EIA-767 (Replaced by Forms EIA-860 and EIA-923)

The Form EIA-767 was used to collect data annually on plant operations and equipment design, 

including boiler, generator, cooling system, air pollution control equipment, and stack characteristics. 

Data were collected from a mandatory restricted-universe census of all electric power plants with a total 

existing or planned organic-fueled or combustible renewable steam-electric generator nameplate rating 

of 10 or more megawatts. The entire form was filed by approximately 800 power plants with a 

nameplate capacity of 100 or more megawatts. An additional 600 power plants with a nameplate 

capacity under 100 megawatts submitted information only on fuel consumption and quality, boiler and 

generator configuration, and nitrogen oxides, mercury, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide controls.

Instrument and Design History: The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275) 

defines the legislative authority to collect these data. The predecessor form, FPC-67, “Steam-Electric 

Plant Air and Water Quality Control Data,” was used to collect data from 1969 to 1980, when the form 

number was changed to Form EIA-767. In 1982, the form was completely redesigned and re-titled Form 

EIA-767, “Steam-Electric Plant Operation and Design Report.” In 1986, the respondent universe of 700 

plants was increased to 900 plants to include plants with nameplate capacity from 10 megawatts to 100 

megawatts. In 2002, the respondent universe was increased by almost 1,370 plants with the addition 

of nonutility plants. 

Collection of data via the form was suspended for the 2006 data year. Starting with the collection of 

2007 calendar year data, most of the Form EIA-767 information is now collected on either the revised 

Form EIA-860, "Annual Electric Generator Report" or the new Form EIA-923, "Power Plant Operations 

Report." 

Estimation of EIA-767 Data: No estimation of Form EIA-767 data was performed. Normally the survey 

had no non-response.

Issues within Historical Data Series: As noted above, no data were collected for calendar year 2006.

Sensitive Data: Latitude and longitude data collected on the Form EIA-767 were considered business 

sensitive.

Form EIA-826

The Form EIA 826, “Monthly Electric Utility Sales and Revenues with State Distributions Report,” is a 

monthly collection of data from a sample of approximately 520 of the largest electric utilities (primarily 

investor and publicly owned) as well as a census of energy service providers with retail sales in 

deregulated States. Form EIA-861 (see below), with approximately 3,300 respondents, serves as a frame 

from which the Form 826 sample is drawn. Based on this sample, a model is used to estimate for the 

entire universe of U.S. electric utilities on a monthly basis. 

Instrument and design history: The collection of electric power sales data and related information 

began in the early 1940’s and was established as FPC Form 5 by FPC Order 141 in 1947. In 1980, the 

report was revised with only selected income items remaining and became the FERC Form 5. The Form 

EIA 826, “Electric Utility Company Monthly Statement,” replaced the FERC Form 5 in January 1983. In 

January 1987, the “Electric Utility Company Monthly Statement” was changed to the “Monthly Electric 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

Utility Sales and Revenue Report with State Distributions.” The title was changed again in January 2002 

to “Monthly Electric Utility Sales and Revenues with State Distributions Report” to become consistent 

with other EIA report titles. The Form EIA 826 was revised in January 1990, and some data elements 

were eliminated. 

In 1993, EIA for the first time used a model sample for the Form EIA 826. A stratified random sample, 

employing auxiliary data, was used for each of the four previous years. The sample for the Form EIA 826 

was designed to obtain estimates of electricity sales and average retail price of electricity at the State 

level by end use sector. 

Starting with data for January 2001, the restructuring of the electric power industry was taken into 

account by forming three schedules on the Form EIA-826. Schedule 1, Part A is for full service utilities 

that operate as in the past. Schedule 1, Part B is for electric service providers only, and Schedule 1, Part 

C is for those utilities providing distribution service for those on Schedule 1, Part B. In addition, Schedule 

1 Part D is for those retail energy providers or power marketers that provide bundled service. Also, the 

Form EIA-826 frame was modified to include all investor-owned electric utilities and a sample of 

companies from other ownership classes. A new method of estimation was implemented at this same 

time. (See Electric Power Monthly, April 2001, p.1.) 

With the October 2004 issue of the Electric Power Monthly (EPM), EIA published for the first time 

preliminary electricity sales data for the Transportation Sector. These data are for electricity delivered 

to and consumed by local, regional, and metropolitan transportation systems. The data being published 

for the first time in the October EPM included July 2004 data as well as year-to-date. EIA’s efforts to 

develop these new data have identified anomalies in several States and the District of Columbia. Some 

of these anomalies are caused by issues such as: 1) Some respondents have classified themselves as 

outside the realm of the survey. The Form EIA-826 collects retail data from those respondents providing 

electricity and other services to the ultimate end users. EIA has experienced specific situations where, 

although the respondents’ customers are the ultimate end users, particular end users qualify under 

wholesale rate schedules. 2) The Form EIA-826 is a cutoff sample and not intended to be a census. 

Data processing and data system editing: Monthly Form EIA-826 submission is available via an Internet 

Data Collection (IDC) system. The completed data are due to EIA by the last calendar day of the month 

following the reporting month. Nonrespondents are contacted to obtain the data. The data are edited 

and additional checks are completed. Following verification, imputation is run, and tables and text of 

the aggregated data are produced for inclusion in the EPM. 

Imputation: Regression prediction, or imputation, is done for entities not in the monthly sample and for 

any nonrespondents. Regressor data for Schedule 1, Part A is the average monthly sales or revenue 

from the most recent finalized data from survey Form EIA-861. Beginning with January 2008 data and 

the finalized 2007 data, the regressor data for Schedule 1 Parts B and C is the prior month’s data.

Formulas and methodologies: The Form EIA 826 data are collected by end-use sector (residential, 

commercial, industrial, and transportation) and State. Form EIA 861 (see below) data are used as the 

frame from which the sample is selected and in some instances also as regressor data. Updates are 

made to the frame to reflect mergers that affect data processing. 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

With the revised definitions for the commercial and industrial sectors to include all data previously 

reported as ‘other’ data except transportation, and a separate transportation sector, all responses that 

would formerly have been reported under the “other” sector are now to be reported under one of the 

sectors that currently exist. This means there is probably a lower correlation, in general, between, say, 

commercial Form EIA-826 data for 2004 and commercial Form EIA-861 data for 2003 than there was 

between commercial Form EIA-826 data for 2003 and commercial Form EIA-861 data for 2002 or earlier 

years, although commercial and industrial definitions have always been somewhat nebulous due to 

power companies not having complete information on all customers. 

Data submitted for January 2004 represent the first time respondents were to provide data specifically 

for the transportation end-use sector.

During 2003 transportation data were collected annually through Form EIA-861. Beginning in 2004 the 

transportation data were collected on a monthly basis via Form EIA-826. In order to develop an 

estimate of the monthly transportation data for 2003, values for both retail sales of electricity to 

ultimate customers and revenue from retail sales of electricity to ultimate customers were estimated 

using the 2004 monthly profile for the sales and revenues from the data collected via Form EIA-826. All 

monthly non-transportation data for 2003 (i.e. street lighting, etc.), which were previously reported in 

the “other” end-use sector on the Form EIA-826 have been prorated into the Commercial and Industrial 

end-use sectors based on the 2003 Form EIA-861 profile. 

A monthly distribution factor was developed for the monthly data collected in 2004 (for the months of 

January through November). The transportation sales and revenues for December 2004 were assumed 

to be equivalent to the transportation sales and revenues for November 2004. The monthly distribution 

factors for January through November were applied to the annual values for transportation sales and 

revenues collected via Form EIA-861 to develop corresponding 2003 monthly values. The eleven month 

estimated totals from January through November 2003 were subtracted from the annual values 

obtained from Form EIA-861 in order to obtain the December 2003 values. 

Data from the Form EIA-826 are used to determine estimates by sector at the State, Census division, and 

national level. State level sales and revenues estimates are first calculated. Then the ratio of revenue 

divided by sales is calculated to estimate retail price of electricity at the State level. The estimates are 

accumulated separately to produce the Census division and U.S. level estimates3.

Some electric utilities provide service in more than one State. To facilitate the estimation, the State 

service area is actually used as the sampling unit. For each State served by each utility, there is a utility 

State part, or “State service area.” This approach allows for an explicit calculation of estimates for sales, 

revenue, and average retail price of electricity by end use sector at State, Census division, and national 

level. Estimation procedures include imputation to account for nonresponse. Non-sampling error must 

also be considered. The non-sampling error is not estimated directly, although attempts are made to 

minimize the non-sampling error.

Average retail price of electricity represents the cost per unit of electricity sold and is calculated by 

dividing retail electric revenue by the corresponding sales of electricity. The average retail price of 

electricity is calculated for all consumers and for each end-use sector. 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

The electric revenue used to calculate the average retail price of electricity is the operating revenue 

reported by the electric utility. Operating revenue includes energy charges, demand charges, consumer 

service charges, environmental surcharges, fuel adjustments, and other miscellaneous charges. Electric 

utility operating revenues also include State and Federal income taxes and taxes other than income 

taxes paid by the utility. 

The average retail price of electricity reported in this publication by sector represents a weighted 

average of consumer revenue and sales within sectors and across sectors for all consumers, and does 

not reflect the per kWh rate charged by the electric utility to the individual consumers. Electric utilities 

typically employ a number of rate schedules within a single sector. These alternative rate schedules 

reflect the varying consumption levels and patterns of consumers and their associated impact on the 

costs to the electric utility for providing electrical service. 

Adjusting monthly data to annual data: As a final adjustment based on our most complete data, use is 

made of final Form EIA-861 data, when available. The annual totals for Form EIA-826 data by State and 

end-use sector are compared to the corresponding Form EIA-861 values for sales and revenue. The ratio 

of these two values in each case is then used to adjust each corresponding monthly value.

Sensitive data: Most of the data collected on the Form EIA-826 are not considered business sensitive. 

However, monthly revenue, sales, and customer data collected from energy service providers (Schedule 

1, Part B), which do not also provide energy delivery, are considered business sensitive and must adhere 

to EIA's “Policy on the Disclosure of Individually Identifiable Energy Information in the Possession of the 

EIA” (45Federal Register 59812 (1980)). 

Form EIA-860

The Form EIA-860 is a mandatory annual census of all existing and planned electric generating facilities 

in the United States with a total generator nameplate capacity of 1 or more megawatts. The survey is 

used to collect data on existing power plants and 10 year plans for constructing new plants, as well as 

generating unit additions, modifications, and retirements in existing plants. Data on the survey are 

collected at the individual generator level. Certain power plant environmental-related data are collected 

at the boiler level. These data include environmental equipment design parameters and boiler air 

emission standards and boiler emission controls. 

Instrument and Design History: The Form EIA-860 was originally implemented in January 1985 to 

collect plant data on electric utilities as of year-end 1984. It was preceded by several Federal Power 

Commission (FPC) forms including the FPC Form 4, Form 12 and 12E, Form 67, and Form 411. In January 

1999, the Form EIA-860 was renamed the Form EIA-860A and was implemented to collect data as of 

January 1, 1999. 

In 1989, the Form EIA-867, "Annual Nonutility Power Producer Report," was initiated to collect plant 

data on unregulated entities with a total generator nameplate capacity of 5 or more megawatts. In 

1992, the reporting threshold of the Form EIA-867 was lowered to include all facilities with a combined 

nameplate capacity of 1 or more megawatts. Previously, data were collected every 3 years from facilities 

with a nameplate capacity between 1 and 5 megawatts. In 1998, the Form EIA-867, was renamed Form 

EIA-860B, "Annual Electric Generator Report – Nonutility." The Form EIA-860B was a mandatory survey 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

of all existing and planned nonutility electric generating facilities in the United States with a total 

generator nameplate capacity of 1 or more megawatts. 

Beginning with data collected for the year 2001, the infrastructure data collected on the Form EIA-860A 

and the Form EIA-860B were combined into the new Form EIA-860 and the monthly and annual versions 

of the Form EIA-906. The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275) defines the 

legislative authority to collect these data. 

Starting with 2007, design parameters data formerly collected on Form EIA-767 were collected on Form 

EIA-860. These include design parameters associated with certain steam-electric plants’ boilers, cooling 

systems, flue gas particulate collectors, flue gas desulfurization units, and stacks and flues.

Estimation of EIA-860 Data: No imputation was required for EIA-860 data.

Issues within Historical Data Series Regarding Categorization of Capacity by Business Sector: There are 

a small number of electric utility CHP plants, as well as a small number of industrial and commercial 

generating facilities that are not CHP. For the purposes of this report the data for these plants are 

included, respectively, in the following categories: “Electricity Generators, Electric Utilities,” “Combined 

Heat and Power, Industrial,” and “Combined Heat and Power, Commercial.” 

Some capacity in 2001 through 2004 is classified based on the operating company's classification as an 

electric utility or an independent power producer. Starting in the EPA 2006, capacity by producer type 

was determined at the power plant level for 2005 and all subsequent data collections. This change 

required revisions to the original published 2005 data.

Issues within Historical Data Series Regarding Planned Capacity: Delays and cancellations may have 

occurred subsequent to respondent data reporting as of December 31 of the data year.

Issues within Historical Data Series Regarding Capacity by Energy Source: Prior to the EPA 2005, the 

capacity for generators for which natural gas or petroleum was the most predominant energy source 

was presented in the following three categories: petroleum only, natural gas only, and dual-fired. The 

dual-fired category, which was EIA’s effort to infer which generators could fuel-switch between natural 

gas and fuel oil, included only the capacity of generators for which the most predominant energy source 

and second most predominant energy source were reported as natural gas or petroleum. Beginning in 

2005, capacity is assigned to energy source based solely on the most predominant (primary) energy 

source reported for a generator. The “dual-fired” category was eliminated. Separately, summaries of 

capacity associated with generators with fuel-switching capability are presented for 2005 and later 

years. These summaries are based on data collected from new questions added to the Form EIA-860 

survey that directly address the ability of generators to switch fuels and co-fire fuels.

In the EPA 2005, certain petroleum-fired capacity was misclassified as natural gas-fired capacity for 1995 

– 2003. This was corrected in the EPA 2006. Corrections were noted as revised data.

Sensitive Data: The tested heat rate data collected on the Form EIA-860 are considered business 

sensitive. 

Form EIA-861

The Form EIA-861 is a mandatory annual census of electric power industry participants in the United 

States. Prior to data year 2012, the survey was used to collect information on power sales and revenue 

data from approximately 3,300 respondents. About 3,100 are electric utilities, and the remainders are 

nontraditional entities such as energy service providers or the unregulated subsidiaries of electric 

utilities and power marketers.

For data year 2012 and forward, EIA modified the frame of the Form EIA-861, “Annual Electric Power 

Industry Report,” from a census to a sample, and EIA is using model-based methods to estimate the 

sales, revenues, and customer counts by sector and state for those respondents that have been 

removed from the frame. EIA created a new Form EIA-861S, “Annual Electric Power Industry Report

(Short Form),” for the respondents that have been removed from the Form EIA-861 frame. The 

form collects limited data such as total sales, revenues, and customer counts by state.

Transportation Sector: Prior to 2003, sales of electric power for transportation (e.g., city subway

systems) were included in the Other Sector, along with sales to customers for public buildings, traffic 

signals, public street lighting, and sales to irrigation consumers. Beginning with the 2003 data collection,

sales to the Transportation Sector were collected separately. The balance of the Other Sector was 

reclassified as Commercial Sector sales except that sales to irrigation customers, where separately 

identified, were reclassified to the Industrial Sector. 

On the Form EIA-861, the Transportation Sector is defined as electrified rail, primarily urban transit, light 

rail, automated guideway, and other rail systems whose primary propulsive energy source is electricity. 

Electricity sales to Transportation Sector consumers whose primary propulsive energy source is not 

electricity (i.e., gasoline, diesel fuel, etc.) are not included.

Benchmark statistics were reviewed from outside surveys, most notably the U.S. Department of 

Transportation (DOT) Federal Transit Administration’s National Transportation Database, a source 

previously used by EIA to estimate electricity transportation consumption. The DOT survey indicated the 

State and City locations of expected respondents. The Form EIA-861 survey methodology assumed that 

sales, revenue, and customer counts associated with these mass transit systems would be provided by 

the incumbent utilities in these areas, relying on information drawn routinely from rate schedules and 

classifications designed to serve the sector separately and distinctly. In 2010, 64 respondents reported 

transportation data in 28 States. 

Data Reconciliation: The Electric Power Annual reports total retail sales volumes (megawatthours) and 

customer counts in States with deregulated markets as the sum of bundled sales reported by full-service

providers and delivery reported by transmission and distribution utilities. ERUS has concluded that the 

retail sales data reported by delivery utilities are more reliable than data reported by power marketers 

and Energy Service Providers (ESPs). 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

The reporting methodology change uses sales volumes and a customer count reported by distribution 

utilities, and modifies only an incremental revenue value, representing revenue associated with 

misreported sales assumed to be attributable to the ESPs that were under-represented in the survey 

frame.

Instrument and Design History: The Form EIA-861 was implemented in January 1985 for collection of 

data as of year-end 1984. The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275) defines the 

legislative authority to collect these data. 

Average Retail Price of Electricity: This value represents the average cost per unit of electricity sold and 

is calculated by dividing retail electric revenue by the corresponding sales of electricity. The average 

retail price of electricity is calculated for all consumers and for each end-use sector. 

The electric revenue used to calculate the average retail price of electricity is the operating revenue 

reported by the electric power industry participant. Operating revenue includes energy charges, 

demand charges, consumer service charges, environmental surcharges, fuel adjustments, and other 

miscellaneous charges. Electric power industry participant operating revenues also include ratepayer 

reimbursements for State and Federal income taxes and other taxes paid by the utility. 

This computed average retail price of electricity reported in this publication by is a weighted average of 

consumer revenue and sales and does not equal the per kWh rate charged by the electric power 

industry participant to the individual consumers. Electric utilities typically employ a number of rate 

schedules within a single sector. These alternative rate schedules reflect the varying consumption levels 

and patterns of consumers and their associated impact on the costs of the electric power industry 

participant for providing electrical service. 

Issues within Historical Data Series: Changes from year to year in consumer counts, sales and revenues, 

particularly involving the commercial and industrial consumer sectors, may result from respondent 

implementation of changes in the definitions of consumers, and reclassifications. Utilities and energy 

service providers may classify commercial and industrial customers based on either NAICS codes or 

demands or usage falling within specified limits by rate schedule. The number of ultimate customers is 

an average of the number of customers at the close of each month. Also see the discussion of the 

Transportation Sector, above.

Net-Metering: This section was expanded in 2011. Previously, customer count by sector was the only 

data collected and published. In 2010, the EIA-861 started collecting the capacity of the net-metered 

installations by sector and technology. The technology types are: photovoltaic (PV), wind and other.

Demand-Side Management (DSM): Prior to 2011, DSM data was separated into two categories, large 

and small utilities. Some tables contained data for just large utilities and others contained both 

categories, published separately. Starting in 2011, there is no longer a division in the data. All tables now 

include all DSM data from utilities; this change is also reflected in the historical data.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

Starting in 2011, a new category of respondents were added to the EIA-861, non-utility DSM 

administrators: Efficiency Maine Trust, Energy trust of Oregon, Focus on Energy, NYSERDA and Vermont 

Energy Investment Corporation.

The following definitions are supplied to assist in interpreting DSM data. Utility costs reflect the total 

cash expenditures for the year, in nominal dollars, that used to support DSM programs.

 Actual Peak Load Reduction is the actual reduction in annual peak load achieved by all 

program participants during the reporting year, at the time of annual peak load, as 

opposed to the installed peak load reduction capability (potential peak load reduction). 

Actual peak load reduction is reported by large utilities only.

 Energy Savings is the change in aggregate electricity use (measured in megawatthours) 

for consumers that participate in a utility DSM program. These savings represent 

changes at the consumer's meter (i.e., exclude transmission and distribution effects) 

and reflect only activities that are undertaken specifically in response to utilityadministered programs, including those activities implemented by third parties under 

contract to the utility.

 Large Utilities are those electric utilities with annual sales to ultimate customers or sales 

for resale greater than or equal to 150 million kilowatthours in 1998-2009 and, for years 

prior, the threshold was set at 120 million kilowatthours.

 Potential Peak Load Reduction is the potential peak load reduction as a result of load 

management.

Advanced Metering: New in 2011, Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering 

Infrastructure (AMI), including historical data back to 2007. From 2007-2009, the count by sector is for 

number of customers, for 2010-2011, the count is the actual number of meters. For example; if an 

industrial customer had 12 meters, in 2007-2009 the count would have been 1, in 2010-2011, the count 

would be 12. 

Sensitive Data: None.

Forms EIA-906 and EIA-920 (Replaced in 2008 by Form EIA-923)

The Form EIA-906 was used to collect plant-level data on generation, fuel consumption, stocks, and fuel 

heat content, from electric utilities and nonutilities. Data were collected monthly from a model-based 

sample of approximately 1,700 utility and nonutility electric power plants. The form was also used to 

collect these statistics from another 2,667 plants (i.e., all other generators 1 MW or greater) on an 

annual basis. The form was ended after the 2007 data collection and replaced by the Form EIA-923.

Instrument and Design History: The Bureau of Census and the U.S. Geological Survey collected, 

compiled, and published data on the electric power industry prior to 1936. After 1936, the FPC assumed 

all data collection and publication responsibilities for the electric power industry and implemented the 

Form FPC-4. The Federal Power Act, Section 311 and 312, and FPC Order 141 defined the legislative 

authority to collect power production data. The Form EIA-759 replaced the Form FPC-4 in January 1982. 

In 1996, the Form EIA-900 was initiated to collect sales for resale data from unregulated entities. In 

1998, the Form EIA-900 was modified to collect sales for resale, gross generation, and sales to end user 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

data. In 1999, the form was modified to collect net generation, consumption, and ending stock data. In 

2000, the form was modified to include data on the production of useful thermal output (typically 

process steam) by combined heat and power (CHP) plants.

In January 2001, Form EIA-906 superseded Forms EIA-759 and EIA-900. In January 2004, Form EIA-920 

superseded Form EIA-906 for those plants defined as CHP plants; all other plants that generated 

electricity continued to report on Form EIA-906. The Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public 

Law 93 275) defines the legislative authority to collect these data. In January 2008, the Form EIA-923 

superseded this form.

Issues within Historical Data Series: A relatively small number electric commercial- and industrial-only 

plants are, for the purposes of this report, are included in the CHP data categories. The small number of 

electric utility plants that are CHP units are reported together with other utility plants. No information 

on the production of useful thermal output (UTO) or fuel consumption for UTO was collected or 

estimated for the electric utility CHP plants.

Sensitive Data: The only business sensitive data element collected on the Forms EIA-906 and EIA-920 

was fuel stocks at the end of the reporting period.

Form EIA-923

Form EIA-923, “Power Plant Operations Report,” is used to collect information on receipts and cost of 

fossil fuels, fuel stocks, generation, consumption of fuel for generation, nonutility source and disposition 

of electricity, combustion by-product collection and disposal, and cooling systems, as well as 

operational data for flue gas desulfurization, particulates, and nitrous oxide controls. Data are 

collected from a monthly sample of approximately 1,900 plants, which includes a census of nuclear and 

pumped-storage hydroelectric plants. The plants in the monthly sample report their receipts, cost and 

stocks of fossil fuels, electric power generation, and the total consumption of fuels for both electric 

power generation and, at combined heat and power (CHP) plants, useful thermal output. At the end of 

the year, the monthly respondents report their annual source and disposition of electric power 

(nonutilities only), operational data for air emissions controls and cooling systems, and the collection 

and disposal of combustion by-products on the Form EIA-923 Supplemental Form (Schedules 6, 7, and 

8A to 8F). Approximately 4,200 plants, representing all generators not included in the monthly sample 

and with a nameplate capacity of 1 MW or more, report applicable data on the entire form annually. In 

addition to electric power generating plants, respondents include fuel storage terminals without 

generating capacity that receive shipments of fossil fuel for eventual use in electric power generation. 

The monthly data are due by the last day of the month following the reporting period.

Receipts of fossil fuels, fuel cost and quality information, and fuel stocks at the end of the reporting 

period are all reported at the plant level. Fuel receipts and costs are collected from plants with a 

nameplate capacity of 50 MW or more and burn fossil fuels. Plants that burn organic fuels and have a 

steam turbine capacity of at least 10 megawatts report consumption at the boiler level and generation 

at the generator level for each month, regardless of whether the plant reports in the monthly sample or 

reports annually. For all other plants, consumption is reported at the prime-mover level and generation 

is reported at the prime-mover level or, for noncombustible sources (e.g., wind, nuclear), at the prime-
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

mover and energy source levels (including generating units for nuclear only). The source and disposition 

of electricity are reported annually for nonutilities at the plant level, as is revenue from sales for resale. 

Operational data for air emissions equipment are collected annually from facilities that have a steam 

turbine capacity of at least 10 megawatts, and operational data on cooling systems and data on the 

collection and disposal of combustion by-products are collected from facilities that have a steam turbine 

capacity of at least 100 megawatts.

Instrument and Design History: See discussion of predecessor forms (EIA-906, -920, -767, and -423, and 

FERC Form 423). 

Imputation: For data collected monthly, regression prediction, or imputation, is done for all missing 

data including non-sampled units and any non-respondents. For data collected annually, imputation is 

performed for non-respondents. For gross generation and total fuel consumption, multiple regression is 

used for imputation (see discussion, above). Approximately 0.02 percent of the national total 

generation for is imputed, although this will vary by State and energy source.

When gross generation is reported and net generation is not available, or vice versa, net or gross 

generation is estimated by using a fixed ratio of net to gross generation by prime-mover type and 

installed emissions equipment. These ratios are:

Prime Movers: 

Combined Cycle Steam - 0.97

Combined Cycle Single Shaft - 0.97

Combined Cycle Combustion Turbine - 0.97

Flue Gas Particulate 0.99

All Others - 0.97

Net Generation = (Factor) x Gross Generation

For stocks, a linear combination of the prior month’s ending stocks value and the current month’s 

consumption and receipts values is used.

Receipts of Fossil Fuels: Receipts data, including cost and quality of fuels, are collected at the plant level 

from selected electric generating plants and fossil-fuel storage terminals in the United States. Power 

plants include independent power producers, electric utilities, and commercial and industrial CHP 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

facilities with a total fossil-fueled nameplate capacity of 50 megawatts or more. The data on cost and 

quality of fuel shipments are used to produce aggregates and weighted averages for each fuel type at 

the State, Census division, and U.S. levels. 

The units for receipts are: 1) coal and petroleum coke, tons and million Btu per ton; 2) petroleum, 

barrels and million Btu per barrel.; and gases, thousand cubic feet (Mcf) and million Btu per thousand 

cubic feet. 

Net and Gross Generation and Fuel Consumption and Stocks: Generation data are collected in 

megawatthours from all power plants with a sum of nameplate capacity at least 1 MW. The fuels 

consumed are collected in tons (solids), barrels (liquids) and thousand cubic feet (gases). Fuels are 

grouped into coal, petroleum liquids, petroleum coke, natural gas, other gases, and other miscellaneous 

fuels. Energy consumption is not collected for nuclear, wind, solar, geothermal or other plants that do 

not burn fuels. For information on fuel groupings, see the instructions to the Form EIA-923 at 

http://www.eia.gov/survey/form/eia_923/instructions.pdf. Combustion By-Product Collection and 

Disposal: Data are collected in thousand tons. Associated financial data for by-products (O&M and 

capital expenses and revenue) are collected in thousand dollars.

Air Emissions Equipment: Operational efficiencies and emission rates are collected for flue gas 

desulfurization, particulate matter, and nitrous oxide control equipment for steam-electric units with at 

least 10 MW nameplate capacity. 

Cooling Systems: Operational data on water use is collected from steam-electric plants, including 

nuclear plants, with at least 100 MW nameplate capacity.

Methodology to Estimate Biogenic and Non-biogenic Municipal Solid Waste:

4

 Municipal Solid Waste 

(MSW) consumption for generation of electric power is split into its biogenic and non-biogenic 

components beginning with 2001 data by the following methodology:

The tonnage of MSW consumed is reported on the Form EIA-923. The composition of MSW and 

categorization of the components were obtained from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

publication, Municipal Solid Waste in the United States: 2005 Facts and Figures. The Btu contents of the 

components of MSW were obtained from various sources.

In 2011, the components of MSW as a percentage of the total were updated. The updated values were 

applied to final 2011 data and to preliminary 2012 and 2013 data. Although updated component 

percentages for 2006 through 2010 were available, historical EIA data series for consumption of MSW 

and net generation were not revised for 2005 to 2010. The tables below are the percentages applied to 

the EIA data for each year.

The potential quantities of combustible MSW discards (which include all MSW material available for 

combustion with energy recovery, discards to landfill, and other disposal) were multiplied by their 

respective Btu contents. The EPA-based categories of MSW were then classified into renewable and 

non-renewable groupings. From this, EIA calculated how much of the energy potentially consumed from 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

MSW was attributed to biogenic components and how much to non-biogenic components (see Table 1 

and 2, below).5

These values are used to allocate consumption of municipal solid waste and net generation published in 

the Electric Power Monthly tables. The tons of biogenic and non-biogenic components were estimated 

with the assumption that glass and metals were removed prior to combustion. The average Btu/ton for 

the biogenic and non-biogenic components is estimated by dividing the total Btu consumption by the 

total tons. Published net generation attributed to biogenic MSW and non-biogenic MSW is classified 

under Other Renewables and Other, respectively.

Useful Thermal Output (UTO): With the implementation of the Form EIA-923, “Power Plant Operations 

Report,” in 2008, combined heat and power (CHP) plants were required to report total fuel consumed 

and electric power generation. Beginning with preliminary January 2008 data, EIA estimated the 

allocation of the total fuel consumed at CHP plants between electric power generation and UTO.

The estimated allocation methodology is summarized in the following paragraphs. The methodology 

was retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. Prior to 2004, UTO was collected on the Form EIA-906 and 

an estimated allocation of fuel for electricity was not necessary.

First, an efficiency factor is determined for each plant and prime mover type. Based on data for electric 

power generation and UTO collected in 2003 (on Form EIA-906, “Power Plant Report”), efficiency was 

calculated for each prime mover type at a plant. The efficiency factor is the total output in Btu, 

including electric power and UTO, divided by the total input in Btu. Electric power is converted to Btu at 

3,412 Btu per kilowatthour. 

Second, to calculate the amount of fuel for electric power, the gross generation in Btu is divided by the 

efficiency factor. The fuel for UTO is the difference between the total fuel reported and the fuel for 

electric power generation. UTO is calculated by multiplying the fuel for UTO by the efficiency factor. 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

In addition, if the total fuel reported is less than the estimated fuel for electric power generation, then 

the fuel for electric power generation is equal to the total fuel consumed, and the UTO will be zero. 

Issues within Historical Data Series for Receipts and Cost and Quality of Fossil Fuels: Values for 

receipts of natural gas for 2001 forward do not include blast furnace gas or other gas.

Historical data collected on FERC Form 423 and published by EIA have been reviewed for consistency 

between volumes and prices and for their consistency over time. However, these data were collected 

by FERC for regulatory rather than statistical and publication purposes. EIA did not attempt to resolve 

any late filing issues in the FERC Form 423 data. In 2003, EIA introduced a procedure to estimate for late 

or non-responding entities that were required to report on the FERC Form 423. Due to the introduction 

of this procedure, 2003 and later data cannot be directly compared to previous years’ data.

Prior to 2008, regulated plants reported receipts data on the FERC Form 423. These plants, along with 

unregulated plants, now report receipts data on Schedule 2 of Form EIA-923. Because FERC issued 

waivers to Form 423 filing requirements to some plants who met certain criteria, and because not all 

types of generators were required to report (only steam turbines and combined cycle units reported), a 

significant number of plants either did not submit fossil fuel receipts data or submitted only a portion of 

their fossil fuel receipts. Since Form EIA-923 does not have exemptions based on generator type, or 

reporting waivers, receipts data from 2008 and later cannot be directly compared to previous years’ 

data for the regulated sector. Also beginning with January 2008 data, tables for total receipts included 

imputed quantities for plants with capacity one megawatt or more, to be consistent with other electric 

power data. Previous published receipts data were from plants at or over a 50 megawatt threshold, 

which was a legacy of their original collection as information for a regulatory agency, not as a survey to 

provide more meaningful estimates of totals for statistical purposes. Totals appeared to become 

smaller as more electric production came from unregulated plants, until the Form EIA-423 was created 

to help fill that gap. As a further improvement, estimation of all receipts for the universe normally 

depicted in the Electric Power Annual (i.e., one megawatt and above), with associated relative standard 

errors, provides a more complete assessment of the market. 

Issues within Historical Data Series for Generation and Consumption: Beginning in 2008, a new 

method of allocating fuel consumption between electric power generation and UTO was implemented 

(see above). This new methodology evenly distributes a CHP plant’s losses between the two output 

products (electric power and UTO). In the historical data, UTO was consistently assumed to be 80 

percent efficient and all other losses at the plant were allocated to electric power. This change causes 

the fuel for electric power to be lower while the fuel for UTO is higher as both are given the same 

efficiency. This results in the appearance of an increase in efficiency of production of electric power 

between periods. 

Sensitive Data: The total delivered cost of fuel delivered to nonutilities, the commodity cost of fossil 

fuels, and fuel stocks are considered business sensitive.

Average Capacity Factors

This section describes the methodology for calculating capacity factors by fuel and technology type for 

operating electric power plants. Capacity factor is a measure (expressed as a percent) of how often an 
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

electric generator operates over a specific period of time, using a ratio of the actual output to the 

maximum possible output over that time period. 

The capacity factor calculation only includes operating electric generators in the Electric Power Sector

(sectors 1, 2 and 3) using the net generation reported on the Form EIA-923 and the net summer capacity 

reported on the Form EIA-860. The capacity factor for a particular fuel/technology type is given by:

 

∑ 

∑ 

Where x represents generators of that fuel/technology combination and m represents the period of 

time (month or year). Generation and capacity are specific to a generator, and the generator is 

categorized by its primary fuel type as reported on the EIA-860. All generation from that generator is 

included, regardless of other fuels consumed. Available time is also specific to the generator in order to 

account for differing online and retirement dates. Therefore, these published capacity factors will differ 

from a simple calculation using annual generation and capacity totals from the appropriate tables in this 

publication.

Air Emissions

This section describes the methodology for calculating estimated emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from 

electric generating plants for 1989 through the present, as well as the estimated emissions of sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from electric generating plants for 2001 through the present. 

For a description of the methodology used for other years, see the technical notes to the EPA 2003.

Methodology Overview: Initial estimates of uncontrolled SO2 and NOx emissions for all plants are made 

by applying an emissions factor to fuel consumption data collected by EIA on the Form EIA-923. An 

emission factor is the average quantity of a pollutant released from a power plant when a unit of fuel is 

burned, assuming no use of pollution control equipment. The basic relationship is:

Emissions = Quantity of Fuel Consumed x Emission Factor 

Quantity is defined in physical units (e.g., tons of solid fuels, million cubic feet of gaseous fuels, and 

thousands of barrels of liquid fuels) for determining NOx and SO2 emissions. As discussed below, 

physical quantities are converted to millions of Btus for calculating CO2 emissions.

For some fuels, the calculation of SO2 emissions requires including in the formula the sulfur content of 

the fuel measured in percentage of weight. Examples include coal and fuel oil. In these cases the 

formula is:

Emissions = Quantity of Fuel Consumed x Emission Factor x Sulfur Content 

The fuels that require the percent sulfur as part of the emissions calculation are indicated in Table A.1., 

which lists the SO2 emission factors used for this report.

In the case of SO2 and NOx emissions, the factor applied to a fuel can also vary with the combustion 

system: a steam-producing boiler, a combustion turbine, or an internal combustion engine. In the case 

of boilers, NOx emissions can also vary with the firing configuration of a boiler and whether or not the 

boiler is a wet-bottom or dry-bottom design.6 These distinctions are shown in Tables A.1. and A.2.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

For SO2 and NOx, the initial estimate of uncontrolled emissions is reduced to account for the plant’s 

operational pollution control equipment, when data on control equipment are available from the 

historical Form EIA-767 survey (i.e., data for the years 2005 and earlier) and the EIA-860 and EIA-923 

surveys for the years 2007 through 2010. A special case for removal of SO2 is the fluidized bed boiler, in 

which the sulfur removal process is integral with the operation of the boiler. The SO2 emission factors 

shown in Table A.1. for fluidized bed boilers already account for 90 percent removal of SO2 since, in 

effect, the plant has no uncontrolled emissions of this pollutant.

Although SO2 and NOx emission estimates are made for all plants, in many cases the estimated emissions 

can be replaced with actual emissions data collected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 

(U.S. EPA’s) Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) program. (CEMS data for CO2 are 

incomplete and are not used in this report.) The CEMS data account for the bulk of SO2 and NOx

emissions from the electric power industry. For those plants for which CEMS data are available, the EIA 

estimates of SO2 and NOx emissions are employed for the limited purpose of allocating emissions by 

fuel, since the CEMS data itself do not provide a detailed breakdown of plant emissions by fuel. For 

plants for which CEMS data are unavailable, the EIA-computed values are used as the final emissions 

estimates.

There are a number of reasons why the historical data are periodically revised. These include data 

revisions, revisions in emission and technology factors, and changes in methodology. For instance, the 

2008 Electric Power Annual report features a revision in historic CO2 values. This revision occurred due 

to a change in the accepted methodology regarding adjustments made for the percentage combustion 

of fuels.

The emissions estimation methodologies are described in more detail below.

CO2 Emissions: CO2 emissions are estimated using the information on fuel consumption in physical units 

and the heat content of fuel collected on the Form EIA-923 and predecessors. Heat content information 

is used to convert physical units to millions of Btu (MMBtu) consumed. To estimate CO2 emissions, the

fuel-specific emission factor from Table A.3. is multiplied by the fuel consumption in MMBtu.

The estimation procedure calculates uncontrolled CO2 emissions. CO2 control technologies are currently 

in the early stages of research and there are no commercial systems installed. Therefore, no estimates 

of controlled CO2 emissions are made. 

SO2 and NOx Emissions: To comply with environmental regulations controlling SO2 emissions, many 

coal-fired generating plants have installed flue gas desulfurization (FGD) units. Similarly, NOx control 

regulations require many fossil-fueled plants to install low-NOx burners, selective catalytic reduction 

systems, or other technologies to reduce emissions. It is common for power plants to employ two or 

even three NOx control technologies; accordingly, the NOx emissions estimation approach accounts for 

the combined effect of the equipment (Table A.4.). However, control equipment information is 

available only for plants that reported on the Form EIA-923 and for historical data from the Form EIA767. The Form EIA-860, EIA-923, and the historical EIA-767 surveys are limited to plants with boilers 

fired by combustible fuels7 with a minimum generating capacity of 10 megawatts (nameplate). 

Pollution control equipment data are unavailable from EIA sources for plants that did not report on the 

historical EIA-767 survey, or the Forms EIA-860 and EIA-923.

The following method is used to estimate SO2 and NOx emissions:
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

 For steam electric plants, uncontrolled emissions are estimated using the emission 

factors shown in Tables A.1. and A.2. as well as reported data on fuel consumption, 

sulfur content, and boiler firing configuration. Controlled emissions are then 

determined when pollution control equipment is present. Although information on 

control equipment was not collected in 2006, updates for new installations during this 

period were made based on EPA data. Beginning in 2007, these data were collected on 

the Forms EIA-860 and EIA-923. For SO2, the reported efficiency of the plant’s FGD units 

is used to convert uncontrolled to controlled emission estimates. For NOx, the reduction 

percentages shown in Table A.4. are applied to the uncontrolled estimates.

 For plants and prime movers not reported on the historical Form EIA-767 survey or 

Forms EIA-860 and EIA-923, uncontrolled emissions are estimated using the Table A.1.

and Table A.2. emission factors and the following data and assumptions:

o Fuel consumption is taken from the Form EIA-923 and predecessors.

o The sulfur content of the fuel is estimated from fuel receipts for the plant 

reported on the Form EIA-923. When plant-specific sulfur content data are 

unavailable, the national average sulfur content for the fuel, computed from the 

Form EIA-923 is applied to the plant. 

o As noted earlier, the emission factor for plants with boilers depends in part on 

the type of combustion system, including whether a boiler is wet-bottom or drybottom, and the boiler firing configuration. However, this boiler information is 

unavailable for steam electric plants that did not report on the historical Forms 

EIA-767 or EIA-860. For these cases, the plant is assumed to have a dry-bottom, 

non-cyclone boiler using a firing method that falls into the “All Other” category 

shown on Table A.1.8

For the plants that did not report on the historical Form EIA-767 or EIA-860, 

pollution control equipment data are unavailable and the uncontrolled 

estimates are not reduced.

 If actual emissions of SO2 or NOx are reported in the EPA’s CEMS data, the EIA estimates 

are replaced with the CEMS values, using the EIA estimates to allocate the CEMS plantlevel data by fuel. If CEMS data are unavailable, the EIA estimates are used as the final 

values.

Conversion Factors for Propane, Petroleum Coke, and Synthesis Gases. 

The quantity conversion for petroleum coke is 5 barrels (of 42 U.S. gallons each) per short ton (2,000 

pounds), propane is 1.53 thousand cubic feet per barrel, coal-derived synthesis gas is 98.06 thousand 

cubic feet per ton, and petroleum coke-derived synthesis gas is 107.31 thousand cubic feet per ton.

Relative Standard Error 

The relative standard error (RSE) statistic, usually given as a percent, describes the magnitude of 

sampling error that might reasonably be incurred. The RSE is the square root of the estimated variance, 

divided by the variable of interest. The variable of interest may be the ratio of two variables, or a single 

variable.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

The sampling error may be less than the non-sampling error. In fact, large RSE estimates found in 

preliminary work with these data have often indicated non-sampling errors, which were then identified 

and corrected. Non-sampling errors may be attributed to many sources, including response errors, 

definitional difficulties, differences in the interpretation of questions, mistakes in recording or coding 

data obtained, and other errors of collection, response, or coverage. These non-sampling errors also 

occur in complete censuses. 

Using the Central Limit Theorem, which applies to sums and means such as are applicable here, there is 

approximately a 68 percent chance that the true total or mean is within one RSE of the estimated total. 

Note that reported RSEs are always estimates, themselves, and are usually, as here, reported as 

percents. As an example, suppose that a net generation from coal value is estimated to be 1,507 total 

million kilowatthours with an estimated RSE of 4.9 percent. This means that, ignoring any non-sampling 

error, there is approximately a 68 percent chance that the true million kilowatthour value is within 

approximately 4.9 percent of 1,507 million kilowatthours (that is, between 1,433 and 1,581 million 

kilowatthours). Also under the Central Limit Theorem, there is approximately a 95 percent chance that 

the true mean or total is within 2 RSEs of the estimated mean or total. 

Note that there are times when a model may not apply, such as in the case of a substantial 

reclassification of sales, when the relationship between the variable of interest and the regressor data 

does not hold. In such a case, the new information represents only itself, and such numbers are added 

to model results when estimating totals. Further, there are times when sample data may be known to 

be in error, or are not reported. Such cases are treated as if they were never part of the model-based 

sample, and values are imputed.

Business Classification 

Nonutility power producers consist of entities that own or operate electric generating units but are not 

subject to direct economic regulation of rates, such as by state utility commissions. Nonutility power 

producers do not have a designated franchised service area. In addition to entities whose primary 

business is the production and sale of electric power, entities with other primary business classifications 

can and do sell electric power. These can consist of, for example, manufacturing facilities and paper 

mills.

The EIA, in the Electric Power Annual and other data products, classifies nonutility power producers into 

the following categories:

 Electric Utility (Sector 1): All regulated plants with a primary purpose of selling 

electricity in the public markets (NAICS = 22).

 Independent Power Producers (Sector 2): All non-regulated plants with a primary 

purpose of electric power generation and a primary purpose of selling electricity in the 

public markets (NAICS = 22) with no ability to cogenerate heat and power.

 Electric Power, Combined Heat and Power (Sector 3): All non-regulated plants with a 

primary purpose of electric power generation and a primary purpose of selling 

electricity in the public markets (NAICS = 22) with the ability to cogenerate heat and 

power.

 Commercial, Non-Combined Heat and Power (Sector 4): All plants with a commercial 

primary purpose with no ability to cogenerate heat and power.
U.S. Energy Information Administration | Electric Power Annual

 Commercial, Combined Heat and Power (Sector 5): All plants with a commercial 

primary purpose with the ability to cogenerate heat and power.

 Industrial, Non-Combined Heat and Power (Sector 6): All plants with an industrial 

primary purpose with no ability to cogenerate heat and power.

 Industrial, Combined Heat and Power (Sector 7): All plants with an industrial primary 

purpose with the ability to cogenerate heat and power.

Due to the restructuring of the electric power industry, many plants which had historically submitted this information for 

utility plants on the FERC Form 423 (see subsequent section) were being transferred to the nonutility sector. As a result, a large 

percentage of fossil fuel receipts were no longer being reported. The Form EIA-423 was implemented to fill this void and to 

capture the data associated with existing nonregulated power producers. Its design closely follows that of the FERC Form 423.

A boiler’s firing configuration relates to the arrangement of the fuel burners in the boiler, and whether the boiler is of 

conventional or cyclone design. Wet- and dry-bottom boilers use different methods to collect a portion of the ash that results 

from burning coal. For information on wet- and dry-bottom boilers, see the EIA Glossary at

Table A.1. Sulfur Dioxide Uncontrolled Emission Factors

Fuel, Code, Source and Emission Units Combustion System Type / Firing Configuration

Notes:

* For these fuels, emissions are estimated by multiplying the emissions factor by the physical volume of fuel and the sulfur percentage of the fuel (other fuels do not require the sulfur percentage in the calculation). Note that EIA data do not 

provide the sulfur content of TDF. The value used (1.56 percent) is from U.S. EPA, Control of Mercury Emissions from Coal-Fired Electric Utility Boilers, April 2002, EPA-600/R-01-109, Table A-11 (available 

at:http://www.epa.gov/appcdwww/aptb/EPA-600-R-01-109A.pdf).

** Although Sludge Waste and Black Liquor consist substantially of liquids, these fuels are measured and reported to EIA in tons.
