Bill Summary
An Act to clarify the definition of backup electric generation.
AI Summary
This bill clarifies the definition of "backup electric generation" by specifying that it refers to electricity generated on a temporary basis to substitute for primary power sources when those primary sources are unavailable, and importantly, that this backup generation is not connected to the main electricity grid. The bill also makes several other minor adjustments to definitions within the chapter, such as expanding the scope of "associated facilities" to include cooling ponds, reservoirs, and storage ponds, and refining the definition of "construction" to exclude preliminary engineering or environmental studies.
