Definition
Net electricity generated from coal at utility-scale plants (1 megawatt or more) in the year, in terawatt hours: bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, anthracite, waste and refined coal, as reported to the U.S. Energy Information Administration on Form EIA-923.
United States and its states only. Net generation can be slightly negative when idle plants use more electricity than they produce, as in Connecticut in 2020.
