California’s primary energy policy and planning agency
an increase in the amount of heat contained in a space, resulting from direct solar radiation, heat flow through walls, windows, and other building surfaces, and the heat given off by people, lights, equipment, and other sources.
Industry:Energy
The rate at which energy is delivered to loads and scheduling points by generation, transmission or distribution facilities.
Industry:Energy
The report formerly issued by the California Energy Commission to the Governor and the Legislature every odd-numbered year assessing California's energy industry. The Biennial Report is supported by four policy documents that are issued every even-numbered year: the Electricity Report, the Fuels Report, the Conservation (or Efficiency) Report and the Energy Development Report.

Industry:Energy
The level at which electricity or natural gas is delivered to users at a given point in time. Electric demand is expressed in kilowatts.
Industry:Energy
A vehicle with two separate fuel systems designed to run on either fuel, using only one fuel at a time.

Industry:Energy
A number that tells how efficient a fuel-burning power plant is. The heat rate equals the Btu content of the fuel input divided by the kilowatt-hours of power output.
Industry:Energy
The electric capacity requirement for which a large user pays. It may be based on the customer's peak demand during the contract year, on a previous maximum or on an agreed minimum. Measured in kilowatts.
