Book ·
OSTI ID:103301
This portion of the Energy Vision 2020 draft report discusses the models used for forecasting the load growth over the period of this report. To deal with uncertainties in load growth, TVA has used a range of forecasts: low, medium, and high. Based on the medium forecast, TVA has determined that an additional 800 MWe will be required by 1998 and 16,500 MWe by 2020. based on the high growth forecast, additional power will be needed in 1997 and increasing thereafter. Based on the low growth forecast, no additional capacity would be needed during the period of this report. These estimates include a reserve margin of 15% through 1997, 13% average through the period 1998 to 2010, and 12% average during the remainder of the reporting period.
