This bill clarifies what "backup electric generation" means under South Dakota law by defining it as electric power that operates independently from the main power grid and runs temporarily when the primary power source fails. The change adds this definition to the state's energy facility regulations to ensure backup generators are clearly distinguished from other types of electric generation facilities.
