Official definition
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating electric power generation facilities (except hydroelectric, fossil fuel, nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass). These facilities convert other forms of energy, such as tidal power, into electric energy. The electric energy produced in these establishments is provided to electric power transmission systems or to electric power distribution systems.

Which code does this activity belong in?
NAICS 221118 covers electric power generation facilities that use energy sources not classified elsewhere in Electric Power Generation. The code encompasses establishments operating tidal power facilities and other alternative energy conversion methods that are distinct from hydroelectric, fossil fuel, nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal, and biomass generation. These facilities produce electricity delivered to transmission or distribution systems, but rely on energy sources beyond the major categories covered by related generation codes.
