Emergency Back-Up Generators

AQMD Goals and Concerns

AQMD's goals are to meet California's electricity demand and protect air quality.

AQMD is committed to finding innovative solutions and exploring options to provide temporary relief and permanent solutions to survive energy problems while maintaining and protecting the ambient air quality, and public health and safety.  AQMD is concerned with the use of uncontrolled power plants and more polluting diesel-fired emergency back-up generators.

  • Fact Sheet on Emergency Back Up Generators
  • Special Application for Temporary Emergency Authorization To Operate Electric Backup Generator(s) During Involuntary Power Service Interruptions
    (NOTE:  this form is only made available when the ISO determines that an emergency condition exists and an involuntary interruptible power situation is in effect.)
