Emergency Stationary Engine Definition
AnEmergency Stationary Engine is defined as any
stationary internal combustion engine whose operation
is limited to emergency situations and required testing
and maintenance. Examples include stationary engines
used to produce power for critical networks or equipment
(including power supplied to portions of a facility) when
electric power from the local utility (or the normal power
source, if the facility runs on its own power production) is
interrupted, or stationary engines used to pump water in the
case of fire or flood, etc. Stationary engines used for peak
shaving are not considered emergency stationary engines.
Stationary engines used to supply power to an electric grid
or that supply power as part of a financial arrangement
with another entity are not considered to be emergency
engines. Emergency stationary ICE may be operated for
the purpose of maintenance checks and readiness testing,
provided that the tests are recommended by Federal, State
or local government, the manufacturer, the vendor, or the
insurance company associated with the engine. Maintenance
checks and readiness testing of such units is limited to
100 hours per year. There is no time limit on the use of
emergency stationary engines in emergency situations.
The owner or operator may petition the Administrator for
approval of additional hours to be used for maintenance
checks and readiness testing, but a petition is not required
if the owner or operator maintains records indicating that
Federal, State, or local standards require maintenance
and testing of emergency ICE beyond 100 hours per year.
Emergency stationary ICE may operate up to 50 hours
per year in non-emergency situations, but those 50 hours
are counted towards the 100 hours per year provided for
maintenance and testing. The 50 hours per year for non-
emergency situations cannot be used for peak shaving
or to generate income for a facility to supply power to an
electric grid or otherwise supply power as part of a financial
arrangement with another entity. For owners and operators
of emergency engines, any operation other than emergency
operation, maintenance and testing, and operation in non-
emergency situations for 50 hours per year, as permitted
above is prohibited.
