following existing and new sources for the production of
electricity:
(1) Solar photovoltaic or other solar electric energy.
(2) Solar thermal energy.
(3) Wind power.
(4) Large-scale hydropower, which shall mean the
production of electric power by harnessing the hydroelectric
potential of moving water impoundments, including pumped
storage that does not meet the requirements of low-impact
hydropower under paragraph (5).
(5) Low-impact hydropower consisting of any technology
that produces electric power and that harnesses the
hydroelectric potential of moving water impoundments,
provided such incremental hydroelectric development:
(i) does not adversely change existing impacts to
aquatic systems;
(ii) meets the certification standards established
by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute and American
Rivers, Inc., or their successors;
(iii) provides an adequate water flow for protection
of aquatic life and for safe and effective fish passage;
(iv) protects against erosion; and
(v) protects cultural and historic resources.
(6) Geothermal energy, which shall mean electricity
produced by extracting hot water or steam from geothermal
reserves in the earth's crust and supplied to steam turbines
that drive generators to produce electricity.
(7) Biomass energy, which shall mean the generation of
electricity utilizing the following:
(i) organic material from a plant that is grown for
the purpose of being used to produce electricity or is
protected by the Federal Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) and provided further that crop production on CRP
lands does not prevent achievement of the water quality
protection, soil erosion prevention or wildlife
enhancement purposes for which the land was primarily set

include methane from the anaerobic digestion of organic
materials from yard waste, such as grass clippings and
leaves, food waste, animal waste and sewage sludge. The term
also includes landfill methane gas.
(9) Fuel cells, which shall mean any electrochemical
device that converts chemical energy in a hydrogen-rich fuel
directly into electricity, heat and water without combustion.
(10) Demand-side management consisting of the management
of customer consumption of electricity or the demand for
electricity through the implementation of:
(i) energy efficiency technologies, management
practices or other strategies in residential, commercial,
institutional or government customers that reduce
electricity consumption by those customers;
(ii) load management or demand response
technologies, management practices or other strategies in
residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and
government customers that shift electric load from
periods of higher demand to periods of lower demand; or
(iii) industrial by-product technologies consisting
of the use of a by-product from an industrial process,
including the reuse of energy from exhaust gases or other
manufacturing by-products that are used in the direct
production of electricity at the facility of a customer.
(11) Distributed generation system, which shall mean the
small-scale power generation of electricity and useful
thermal energy.
(12) Energy from nuclear fission used to generate
electricity.
