 (a) Value of Shipments and Receipts and Employment Size categories were supplied by the

Bureau of the Census.

 (b) 'Cogeneration' is the production of electrical energy and another form of

useful energy, such as heat or steam, through the sequential use of energy.

Cogeneration includes electricity generated from fossil fuels, such as natural gas,

fuel oils, and coal; wood; and other biomass.

 (c) 'Renewable Energy' is energy obtained from essentially inexhaustible sources.

Noncombustible sources include solar power, wind power, hydropower, and

geothermal power.

 (d) 'Other' is that electricity obtained from a generator fueled by

combustible energy sources, such as diesel fuels and other fuel oils.

 NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor.
