End Use Not Reported 6 3 114 (a) 'Net Demand for Electricity' is the sum of purchases, transfers in, andtotal onsite electricity generation, minus sales and transfers offsite. It isthe total amount of electricity used by establishments. 'Net Demand forElectricity' is not directly comparable with 'Net Electricity,' which specificallyexcludes 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

(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 isobutaneproduced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate rawNatural Gas Liquids '(NGL).' (e) Facility Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning '(Facility HVAC)' excludessteam and hot water. NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor. * Estimate less than 0.5. W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments. Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent. NA=Not available. -- Estimation is not applicable. S=Negative value. Notes: To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the cell'scorresponding RSE column and RSE row factors. Totals may not equal sum ofcomponents because of independent rounding. The estimates presented in thistable are for the total consumption of energy (formerly total inputs of energy)for the production of heat, power, and electricity generation,regardless of where the energy was produced. Specifically, the estimatesinclude the quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite andpurchased by or transferred to the establishment, plus those that were producedonsite from other energy or input materials not classified as energy, or wereextracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells.Allocations to specific end uses are made on the basis of reasonableapproximations by respondents.
