Guaranteed energy savings contract means a contract that includes all of the following:
energy performance contracting means a contractual arrangement between the beneficiary and the provider of an energy efficiency improvement measure, verified and monitored during the whole term of the contract, where investments (work, supply or service) in that measure are paid for in relation to a contractually agreed level of energy efficiency improvement or other agreed energy performance criterion, such as financial savings;
Rechargeable Electrical Energy Storage System (REESS) means the rechargeable energy storage system that provides electric energy for electrical propulsion.
energy storage means, in the electricity system, deferring the final use of electricity to a moment later than when it was generated, or the conversion of electrical energy into a form of energy which can be stored, the storing of such energy, and the subsequent reconversion of such energy into electrical energy or use as another energy carrier;
Solar energy system means a system of components that produces heat or electricity, or both, from

Net energy billing means a billing and metering practice under which a customer-generator is billed on the basis of net energy over the billing period.
nuclear energy hazard means the radioactive, toxic, explosive, or other hazardous properties of radioactive material;
Energy storage system means a system which stores energy and releases it in the same form as was input.
Energy efficiency measure means equipment, devices, or materials intended to decrease energy consumption, including, but not limited to, upgrades to a building envelope such as insulation and glazing; improvements in heating, ventilating and cooling systems; automated energy control systems; improved lighting, including daylighting; energy‑recovery systems; combined heat and power systems; or another utility cost‑savings measure approved by the governing body.
Building Energy Benchmarking means the process of measuring a building’s Energy use, tracking that use over time, and comparing performance to similar buildings.
Nominated Energy Efficiency Value means the amount of load reduction that an Energy Efficiency Resource commits to provide through installation of more efficient devices or equipment or implementation of more efficient processes or systems.
Metered Energy means the quantity of electric energy, expressed in kWh, as measured by (i) the CAISO-Approved Meter(s), which quantity will be adjusted so as not to include compensation factors, if any, introduced by the CAISO into the CAISO-Approved Meter(s) other than (x) electric energy consumed within the generator collection system as losses between the generator(s) and the high voltage side of the Generating Facility output transformer(s) and, (y) if applicable, the Generating Facility’s radial line losses, or (ii) Check Meters, as applicable, in each case for the specified Metering Interval.
