Customer costs of electrical energy shortfalls (i.e., customer outage costs) by major customer class categories, as a function of increasing levels of curtailments were estimated for residential, commercial and industrial sectors. The total regional outage cost as a function of increasing levels of curtailments, and under alternate curtailment strategies was forecasted. A strategic planning model was developed to analyze issues related to strategic resource planning: identification of least cost investment strategies under uncertain load growth which rely on the economically optimal level of demand-side and renewable resource options in addition to traditional supply-side options; reserve-reliability tradeoff (i.e., the optimal level of power supply reliability); and impact of a less conservative planning philosophy vis-a-vis the assumption of critical water planning.
