Price estimates in U.S. dollars per million British thermal units
* There are no direct fuel costs for hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, or wind energy. Electricity imports are included in total primary energy and electric power sector but are not shown separately. Expenditures for fuels purchased for electric power generation, included in the expenditure columns for the primary energy
sources, are shown as negative expenditures because they need to be removed from total energy expenditures, to avoid
double-counting.
