Section 4(i) in Himachal Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (Promotion of Generation from the Renewable Energy Sources and Terms and Conditions for Tariff Determination) Regulations, 2017
(i)"Useful power output" is the gross electrical output from the renewable energy generator. There will be an auxiliary consumption in the cogeneration plant itself (e.g. the boiler feed pump and the FD/ID fans). In order to compute the net power output, the auxiliary consumption shall be subtracted from the gross output. For simplicity of calculation, the useful power output is defined as the gross electricity (kWh) output from the renewable energy generator.
