The load that a power generation unit or other electrical apparatus or heating unit is rated by the manufacture to be able to meet or supply.

In reference to electricity, the maximum load that a generating unit or generating station can carry under specified conditions for a given period of time without exceeding approval limits of temperature and stress.

The maximum power that a machine or system can produce or carry safely. The maximum instantaneous output of a resource under specified conditions. The capacity of generating equipment is generally expressed in kilowatts or megawatts.

The maximum instantaneous output of an energy conversion device, often expressed in kW or MW.

In power terminology, the load for which a generator, transmission line, or system is rated, expressed in kilowatts. The amount of electric power delivered or required for which a generator, turbine, transformer, transmission circuit, station, or system is rated by the manufacturer. The maximum load that a machine, station, or system can carry under existing service conditions. Equivalent terms: peak capability, peak generation, firm peak load, carrying capability. In transmission, the maximum load a transmission line is capable of carrying. See excess capacity and peaking capacity. Also refers to powerplant generation capability under specific operating conditions and the amount of marketable resource under such conditions.

The maximum resource that can be assigned (allocated) to or be serviced by a center. For example, the capacity of a school is the number of students that can be enrolled there.

Each Auto Scaling group is defined with a minimum and maximum compute size. The amount of available compute size at any time is the current capacity. A scaling activity increases or decreases the capacity—within the defined minimum and maximum values.

See channel capacity, traffic capacity.
