English translation:marginal production
Explanation:
To my understanding "rajatuotanto" has here been formed analogically to that of "rajatuotto/rajatuotos/rajatulo", which are translated as "marginal revenue/product/income", respectively.
I am no specialist in technologies related to generation of electricity and know nothing about what coal and condensation waters have to do with each other in it, so my suggestion is somewhat a bold guess. Still, hope this helps.
