This document explores the application of the proposed new Bulk Electric System (BES) definition in the context of U.S. generation plants with capacities exceeding 75 MW, as per the 2009 EIA-860 report. It provides a comprehensive breakdown of total megawatts (MW) for BES and non-BES plants, highlighting the distribution of units across various capacity ranges. The analysis covers plants above 75 MW, as well as those in the 20-74.9 MW and 0-19.9 MW categories, offering insights into their contributions to the overall energy generation landscape.
