Notes: The approximate break between historical and forecast values is shown with historical data printed in bold; estimates and forecasts in italics.

Historical data: Latest data available from EIA databases supporting the following reports: Electric Power Monthly , DOE/EIA-0226 and Renewable Energy Annual , DOE/EIA-0603; Petroleum

Supply Monthly , DOE/EIA-0109. 

Minor discrepancies with published historical data are due to independent rounding. 

Projections: Generated by simulation of the EIA Regional Short-Term Energy Model.

(a) Conventional hydroelectric power only. Hydroelectricity generated by pumped storage is not included in renewable energy.

(b) Fuel ethanol and biodiesel supply represents domestic production only. Fuel ethanol and biodiesel consumption in the transportation sector includes production, stock change, and imports 

less exports. Some biodiesel may be consumed in the residential s
