- Heat input at peak load of ≥ 10.7 gigajoules (10 MMBtu) per hour, based on the higher heating value of the fuel;
- Commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after Feb 18, 2005.
Stationary gas turbines that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after Oct 3, 1977 and on or before Feb 18, 2005 are subject to NSPS GG.
