Notes
- Transportation service represents direct, non-utility sales, where the distributor acts solely as the transporter.
- All energy sold to farms, including any to the farm residence, should be included with agriculture. Note: includes greenhouses and nurseries.
- Report only energy sold to industries 486 and 2212 for use in the operation of their systems. Do not report inter-company transactions, since such information has already been reported on the Natural Gas Distribution Monthly Report.
- Data for other NAICS categories may include natural gas volumes which may not be used for the primary activity. Data for those NAICS categories may include the use of gas for electrical production as a secondary activity, i.e. co-generation.
