5 MW nameplate capacity
 

I see no problem with interpreting 5 MW as the nameplate capacity of the generator, but there is conflicting wording within the definition of Qualified Energy Generator.  Subsection "i" states "with the capacity annually to generate no more than five megawatts (MW) of electricity...." yet the last sentence states:  "For the purpose of this chapter, the phrase "capacity annually to generate no more than 5 MW of electricity" shall mean a nameplate capacity equal to or less than 5 MW that is operated in conjunction with a biomasss pilot test facility."  I would recommend that the wording within 'i" of the definition of Qualified Energy Generator be reworked to include the phrase "5 MW nameplate capacity."  I would recommend that the last sentence within the defiintion be allowed to remain.
