aIncludes landfill gas and MSW biogenic (Paper and paper board, wood, food, leather, textiles and yard trimmings.).
bAgriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
cBlack liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids.
*=Less than 500 kilowatthours
PV=Photovoltaic.
MSW=Municipal Solid Waste.
Note: Revisions to biomass removed MSW non-biogenic and tires from renewable waste energy. The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-power (CHP) plants within North American Classification System (NAICS) 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. Dash indicates the state has no data to report for that energy source. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
