I don't think they would. That is stats for grid tied power if I'm not mistaken. I think back up generators would fall into the same exclusion as self installed solar panels.

Also, there are actually private companies that have coal plants for example. American Sugar company operates their own coal fired power plants at their factories. Monsanto Chemical co also operates one as the company I worked for installed emission systems on all of them.

Supposedly the Monsanto plant was the dirtiest plant any of our guys had ever seen which falls in line with that company's ethics. (dirty coal plant is not a good thing because they tend to catch on fire)
