Gross generation less the electric energy consumed at the generating station for station use.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            The total generation output (gross generation) minus electricity used to operate generating stations
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Avoid using. Introduced by Don Tapscott in his 1999 book, Growing Up Digital: The Rise of the Net Generation. Tapscott also used the term "N-Gen." Try not to use these terms except with reference to Tapscott's work or his book, or in a direct quotation of another author.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Equal to gross generation less electricity consumption of a power plant.
