  "id": "MLC-T-ENE-001093",
  "term": "Intermittent electric generator or intermittent resource",
  "field": "Energy",
  "definition": "An electric generating plant with output controlled by the natural variability of the energy resource rather than dispatched based on system requirements. Intermittent output usually results from the direct, non-stored conversion of naturally occurring energy fluxes such as solar energy, wind energy, or the energy of free-flowing rivers (that is, run-of-river hydroelectricity).",
