Best Practice Guide GlossaryBrowse the glossary alphabetically: INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCER Return to list of termsAn Independent Power Producer (IPP) generates power that is purchased by an electric utility at wholesale prices. The utility then resells this power to end-use customers. Although IPPs generate power, they are not franchised utilities, government agencies or QFs. IPPs usually do not own transmission lines to transmit the power that they generate. Source: California Energy Commission |
