 (a) 'Net Demand for Electricity' is the sum of purchases, transfers in, and

total onsite electricity generation, minus sales and transfers offsite. It is

the total amount of electricity used by establishments. 'Net Demand for

Electricity' is not directly comparable with 'Net Electricity,' which specifically

excludes electricity generated onsite by combustible energy sources.

 (b) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4

diesel fuels.

 (c) 'Natural Gas' includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companies,

and any other supplier(s), such as independent gas producers, gas brokers, marketers,

and any marketing subsidiaries of utilities.

 (d) Examples of Liquefied Petroleum Gases '(LPG)' are ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene,

normal butane, butylene, ethane-propane mixtures, propane-butane mixtures, and isobutane

produced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate raw

Natural Gas Liquids '(NGL).'

 (e) Facility Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning '(Facility HVAC)' excludes

steam and hot water.

 NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor.

total inputs of energy) for the production of heat, power, and electricity generation,

regardless of where the energy was produced. Specifically, the estimates

include the quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite and

purchased by or transferred to the establishment, plus those that were produced

onsite from other energy or input materials not classified as energy, or were

extracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells.

Allocations to specific end uses are made on the basis of reasonable

approximations by respondents.
