<br />New Brighton Energy Action Plan iv <br />Greenhouse Gases (GHG): Gases in the atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation and significantly <br />contribute to climate change. The primary greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere are water vapor, <br />carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. <br />Grid Decarbonization: The reduction in the carbon intensity of electricity provided by electric utilities <br />through the addition of low- or no-carbon energy sources to the electricity grid. <br />Kilowatt-hour (kWh): A unit of electricity consumption. <br />Million British Thermal Units (MMBtu): A unit of energy consumption that allows electricity and natural <br />gas consumption to be combined. <br />Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (MTCO2e or MTCO2e): A unit of measure for greenhouse gas <br />emissions. The unit "CO2e" represents an amount of a greenhouse gas whose atmospheric impact has <br />been standardized to that of one unit mass of carbon dioxide (CO2), based on the global warming <br />potential (GWP) of the gas. <br />Megawatt (MW): A unit of electric power equal to 1 million watts. <br />Premise: A unique combination of service address and meter. For residential customers, this is the <br />equivalent of an individual house or dwelling unit in a multi-tenant building. For business customers, it is <br />an individual business, or for a larger business, a separately metered portion of the business’s load at <br />that address. <br />Renewable Energy Certificate (REC): For every megawatt-hour of clean, renewable electricity <br />generation, a renewable energy certificate (REC) is created. A REC embodies all the environmental <br />attributes of the generation and can be tracked and traded separately from the underlying electricity. <br />Also known as a Renewable Energy Credit. <br />Resilience: The ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions and withstand and recover <br />rapidly from disruptions. Resilience includes the ability to withstand and recover from deliberate <br />attacks, accidents, or naturally occurring threats or incidents. <br />Solar Garden: Shared solar array with grid-connected subscribers who receive bill credits for their <br />subscriptions. <br />Solar Photovoltaic (PV): Solar cells/panels that convert sunlight into electricity (convert light, or <br />photons, into electricity, or voltage). <br />Subscription: An agreement to purchase a certain amount of something in regular intervals. <br />Therm (thm): A unit of natural gas consumption.
