 (b) These counts include only those establishments that reported this activity in 2010.

 (c) 'Alternative Energy Sources' consist of those energy sources that could

have been substituted for electricity receipts during 2010. The quantities are

expressed in millions of kilowatthours, and therefore represent the quantity of

electricity that could have been displaced by the given alternative type of

energy.

 (d) 'Total Receipts' represents those quantities of electricity generated off

the manufacturing establishment site and available at the site for consumption. 

It includes those quantities for which payment was made, quantities transferred

in, quantities purchased and paid for by a central purchasing entity, and

quantities for which payment was made in kind. It does not include electricity

generated onsite. 'Electricity Receipts' has not been adjusted to account for

any quantities that might have been resold or transferred out. The estimates

include those quantities that were ascertained switchable or not switchable,
