REGULATORY MUST-TAKE GENERATION Return to list of terms

Utilities will be allowed to generate electricity from those resources, identified by the CPUC, that are not subject to competition. These resources will be scheduled with the ISO on a must-take basis. Regulatory Must-Take Generation includes QF generating units under federal law, nuclear units and pre-existing power-purchase contracts that have minimum-take provisions.
