The phrase "amount of generating" is not correct in standard written English.
It is unclear and lacks proper context, as "amount" typically refers to a quantity of something countable or measurable, while "generating" is a verb that does not fit well with "amount."
Example: "The amount of generating electricity from renewable sources has increased significantly this year."
Alternatives: "quantity of generation" or "level of production".
Although seven more turbines were erected in the first six months of 2010 than in the same period this year, the turbines tended to be bigger and more powerful, so the amount of generating capacity installed was greater this year.
The amount of generating units connected to distribution networks is, however, constantly increasing which changes the operation of distribution networks in many ways.
The amount of generating capacity under construction now is inadequate to meet peak demand in 2009, and the shortfall will be far larger if Indian Point closes, the report said.
According to a recent analysis by the Energy Information Administration, an independent agency within the DOE, the stimulus bill will increase the amount of generating capacity from renewable sources to 156 gigawatts in 2015, up from 114 gigawatts today; renewable capacity would increase only to 118 gigawatts without the legislation.
Using a metric called "coal capacity per person" — the annual amount of generating capacity from every coal-fired plant in a given country, divided by the total population in that country — the researchers found that, for every 1-kilowatt increase of coal capacity per person, the relative risk of lung cancer increases 59percentt among men and 85percentt among women.
The Department of Energy said Thursday that under two major E.P.A. air quality rules that are supposed to be made final in the next few weeks, the amount of generating capacity would still be adequate if power companies and regulators were "prompt" in seeking replacements for plants shuttered because they could not meet the new pollution standards.
