Russian term

энергия на собственные нужды

Russian to English Other Energy / Power Generation
Context - a district heating company needs "энергия на собственные нужды". As I understand it, this means energy to fuel the plant, drive the machinery. My limited research suggests we could call this "auxiliary energy". Does anyone happen to know for sure if this is correct?

Many thanks!
