Preface 

The State Electricity Profiles 2010 presents a 

summary of State statistics. The objective of the 

publication is to provide industry decision 

makers, government policymakers, analysts, and 

the general public with historical data that may 

be used in understanding U.S. electricity 

markets. The State Electricity Profiles is 

prepared by the Electric Power Systems and 

Reliability Team; Office of Electricity, 

Renewables, and Uranium Statistics; U.S. 

Energy Information Administration (EIA); U.S. 

Department of Energy. 

Data in this report can be used in analytic studies 

to evaluate new legislation and are used by 

analysts, researchers, statisticians, and other 

professionals with regulatory, policy, and 

program responsibilities for Federal, State, and 

local governments. 

The State Electricity Profiles presents a 

summary of key State statistics for 2000, and 

2004 through 2010. The tables present summary 

statistics; ten largest plants by generating 

capacity; top five entities ranked by retail sales; 

electric power industry generating capacity by 

primary energy source; electric power industry 

generation of electricity by primary energy 

source; utility delivered fuel prices for coal, 

petroleum, and natural gas; electric power 

emissions estimates; retail sales, revenue, and 

average revenue per kilowatthour by sector; and 

utility retail sales statistics. 

Data published in the State Electricity Profiles 

are compiled from five forms filed annually by 

electric utilities and other electric power 

producers.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 For 2001 forward, data from the California Independent System Operator are used in combination with the Form OE-781R values to estimate electricity trade with Mexico. 2

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 3

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 4

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 2

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 3

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure (e.g., for values with no decimals, the smallest unit is 1 and values under 0.5 are shown as *). 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Net Interstate Trade = Total Supply - (Total Electric Industry Retail Sales + Direct Use + Total International Exports (if applies) + Estimated Losses). 2

 Net Trade Index is the sum of Total Supply / (Total Disposition - Net Interstate Trade). 

R = Revised. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.

Notes: Data are shown for All Sectors. 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. Other Providers sell either the energy or the delivery services, but not both. Sales volumes and 

customer counts shown for Other Providers refer to delivered electricity, which is a joint activity of both energy and delivery providers; for clarity, they are reported only in the Energy column in 

this table. The revenue shown under Other Providers represents the revenue realized from the sale of the energy and the delivery services distinctly. "Public" entities include municipalities, State 

power agencies, and municipal marketing authorities. Federal entities are either owned or financed by the Federal Government. "Cooperatives" are electric utilities legally established to be owned 

by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. The cooperative will generate, transmit and/or distribute supplies of electric energy to a specified area not being serviced by another 

utility. "Non-utility" sales represent direct electricity transactions from independent generators to end use consumers. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

 Facility Direct Retail Sales are electricity sales from non utility power producers which reported electricity sales to a retail customer. 

- (dash) = Data not available. 

Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Estimated Losses are reported at the utility level, and then allocated to States based on the utility`s retail sales 

by State. Reported losses may include electricity unaccounted for by the utility. Direct use is commercial or industrial use of electricity that (1) is self-generated (2) is produced by either the same 

entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and (3) is used in direct support of a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that houses the generating 

equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use. Beginning with publication year 2010, Total disposition has been reorganized to include Net Interstate Trade. Therefore, Total Disposition 

equals Total Supply.
