1987 electricity supply and demand for 1987-1996: Annual data summary. [North America: 1987-1996]

Technical Report · Sun Nov 01 04:00:00 EST 1987

OSTI ID:5488341

The North Americal Electric Reliability Council (NERC) annually collects and publishes ten-year projections of electricity supply and demand of the nine Regional Reliability Councils. This Electricity Supply and Demand report provides this data for the 1987-1996 period. Data on peak demand, net energy for load, capacity resources, capacity margins, and planned additions and retirements of generating units have been extracted from reports submitted to the US Department of Energy by each Regional Reliability Council. Data on generating capacity, electrical energy production, fossil fuel requirements, planned conversions of units from oil to coal, and existing and planned additions of transmission lines were reported directly to NERC. Areas served by the nine Regional Reliability Councils are shown on the inside front cover of this report. The regional and subregional abbreviations used thoughtout this report are defined on the inside back cover. This report also includes forecast bandwidths around the most probable peak demand and annual net energy for load projections for NERC-US and NERC-CANADA. The projections for the United States and Canada are sums of the projections provided by the Regional Reliability Councils. The forecast bandwidths are intended to provide a better understanding of NERCs aggregated projections and to illustrate the uncertainty inherent in the forecasting process. Future uncertainties, many beyond individual electric utility control, could change the underlying asumptions of these projections, the projections themselves, and the trends indicated. 45 tabs.
