OSTI ID:5980077

The situation is basically the same as last year regarding TVA's long-term load forecast and power supply capability. 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 1999. This is two years later than the need date indicated in last year's power supply review. However, peaking capacity is needed in 1997. 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 TVA's current coal-fired system would delay this need five to seven years. This report provides a load forecast summary (both short-term and long-term), load analysis, and a power supply summary. Major causal factors and forecast impacts are also discussed.
