Gross generation

Gross generation or Gross electric output is the total generation of electricity produced by an electric power plant. It is measured at the plant terminal prior to the point at which the power leaves the station and is measured in kilowatthours (kW·h) or megawatthours (MW·h).

Gross generation = Net generation + Usage within the plant (a.k.a. in-house loads)
