Load forecast and power supply summary prepared for fiscal year 1987

Technical Report · Tue Jul 01 04:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:5347195

TVA's long-term load forecasts and power supply situation indicate that TVA will have ample capacity to support high economic growth in the TVA region. If load growth is equivalent to TVA's high forecast, the earliest TVA would need base-load capacity beyond the construction of Bellefonte Nuclear Plant and capacity additions from our ongoing conservation and load management programs is 1997. This is the same period that was indicated in last year's power supply review. Several supply options could delay the need for new conventional central station generating capacity. An increased emphasis on conservation and load management activities and the timely implementation of a major reliability improvement program for large coal and nuclear units could delay this need five to seven years.
