A "temporary stand-by or backup electrical power generation facility" means an electrical power generation facility that is operated for and during a period of time not to exceed four consecutive months in any twelve-month period and only during interruptions of electrical service from the distribution system or transmission grid due to circumstances beyond the operator's control. After this four-month maximum time period, a temporary stand-by or backup electrical power generation facility is disassembled and removed. A temporary stand-by or backup electrical power generation facility possesses no permanent foundation. These facilities, by definition, must meet the performance standards set forth in this title. Electrical generation facilities operating where an interruptible service contract has been executed are not considered a temporary stand-by or backup electrical power generation facility.
