Geothermal energy means energy contained in heat that continuously flows outward from the earth that is used as the sole source of energy to produce electricity.
Net energy metering means measuring the difference, over the net metering period, between (i)
Energy consumer means a business or residential consumer of
Useful thermal energy means, with regard to a cogeneration unit, thermal energy that is:
Energy conservation measure means a training program or facility alteration designed to reduce energy consumption or operating costs and includes:
Rechargeable Electrical Energy Storage System (REESS) means the rechargeable energy storage system that provides electric energy for electrical propulsion.
Energy conservation means the decrease in energy requirements of specific customers during any selected time period, resulting in a reduction in end-use services.
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;
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel means diesel fuel that has a sulfur content of no more than fifteen parts per million.
Energy storage system means a system which stores energy and releases it in the same form as was input.
average consumption means the average consumption by a customer of a municipal service during a specific period, which consumption is calculated by dividing by three the total measured consumption of that service by that customer over the preceding three months;
Energy year or "EY" means the 12-month period from June 1st
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.
Electric utility steam generating unit means any steam electric generating unit that is constructed for the purpose of supplying more than one-third of its potential electric output capacity and more than 25 MW electrical output to any utility power distribution system for sale. Any steam supplied to a steam distribution system for the purpose of providing steam to a steam-electric generator that would produce electrical energy for sale is also considered in determining the electrical energy output capacity of the affected facility.
Consumption of a chemical means its conversion into another chemical via a chemical reaction.
generating plant means the generating facility described in Schedule 1 as amended from time to time;
Energy Storage Resource means a resource capable of receiving electric energy from the grid and storing it for later injection to the grid that participates in the PJM Energy, Capacity and/or Ancillary Services markets as a Market Participant.
boycott energy companies means, without an ordinary business purpose, refusing to deal with, terminating business activities with, or otherwise taking any action that is intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or limit commercial relations with a company because the company:
cogeneration means the simultaneous generation in one process of thermal energy and electrical or mechanical energy;
renewable energy sources means renewable sources such as small hydro, wind, solar including its integration with combined cycle, biomass, bio fuel cogeneration, urban or municipal waste and other such sources as approved by the MNRE;
Renewable Energy Source means an energy source that is not fossil carbon-based, non- renewable or radioactive, and may include solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, landfill gas, or wave, tidal and thermal ocean technologies, and includes a Certified Renewable Energy Source.
Bulk gasoline plant means a gasoline storage and distribution facility with an average daily throughput of 20,000 gallons (76,000 liters) of gasoline or less on a 30-day rolling average.
Day-ahead System Energy Price means the System Energy Price resulting from the Day- ahead Energy Market.
Hydroelectric energy means water used as the sole source of energy to produce electricity.
Renewable energy resources means energy derived from solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, and hydroelectricity. A fuel cell using hydrogen derived from these eligible resources is also an eligible electric generation technology. Fossil and nuclear fuels and their derivatives are not eligible resources.
Fuel means any solid, liquid or gaseous combustible material;
