  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "An estimate of the marginal electricity produced from plants that are more likely to respond to incremental changes in electricity supply and demand based on their capacity factor. All power plants with capacity factors below 20% are considered \"non-baseload\". Plants that run at over 80% capacity are considered \"baseload\" generation and not considered the \"non-baseload\"; a share of generation from plants that run between 80% and 20% capacity is included based on a \"linear relationship\".",
