Explanation:
Indicator: “Availability” expressed as “Equivalent Availability Factor” (fraction)

Definition

The indicator of availability gives the fraction of time that a generating unit is in principle available for service at full power. All units require some time for planned maintenance and unplanned outages, but obviously the more available a unit is the better. However at some times a unit may be available but unable to operate at full power. For this reason, the equivalent availability factor (EAF) is used instead. It is defined as
EAF = Maximum possible annual generation (MWh/yr) / (Peak capacity (MW ) x 8766 hrs/yr)

****

Il calcolo del fattore di utilizzo annuo è il rapporto fra l'energia erogata effettiva e l'energia erogata se la macchina lavorasse continuamente (8766 ore all'anno) in condizioni normali di potenza massima.

La descrizione del termine può essere corretta (grazie), ma quello che tu mi hai indicato come la sua traduzione risulta essere invece la traduzione di un altro termine, il capacity factor.
Così inserisco in glossario quello che risulta essere la traduzione giusta dalle mie ricerche. Un solo hit in rete.
