This report summarizes the generating-unit capacity changes projected for 1979 to 1988 by the Regional Electric Reliability Councils in their April 1, 1979, Coordinated Long-Range Planning Reports to the Department of Energy. Table H itemizes the individual generating units projected for construction, retirement, uprating, and derating during 1979 to 1988 according to Item 2B of the nine Reliability Council reports. Tables 1 through 6 provide summaries of the Table H information in several different categories and groupings. New generating units to be completed by the end of 1988, according to Table 1, total 712, representing 285,363 megawatts. In addition, 4 windpower installations totaling 55 MW are to be completed by the end of 1988. Table 3 shows that 340 units totaling 11,602 MW are to be retired. In addition to capacity changes due to installation of new units and retirement of older ones, there are capacity changes due to upratings and deratings. Two tables show that the total capacity increase projected for 1979 to 1988 is 24,185 MW less than the total increase projected for 1978 to 1987.
