• Short-form filers not identifiable in the sourceRows from Form EIA-861S, the short form for smaller bundled-service utilities. The source flags short-form rows true in report year 2019 only and leaves the flag blank elsewhere; the table keeps it as the source has it, so it cannot count them for the comparison year.
  Not computedthe source leaves short_form blank on every row outside report year 2019
• No row in the sourceUtilities with no sales row here. EIA makes a state, service type and balancing authority-level adjustment for non-respondents and customer-sited respondents; those rows are counted under evidence estimated and name no utility, so the table cannot tell a utility that did not respond from one with no sales in these states.
  Not computedthe source does not list the utilities behind its adjustment rows
