Below, we will present a description of the types of establishments associated with NAICS code 221118 and how it is classified within the industry.
Description NAICS Code 221118 – Other Electric Power Generation
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.
NAICS code 221118 includes:
- Electric power generation, tidal
- Power generation, tidal electric
NAICS Code 221118 does not include the following references:
