Electric power supply and demand for the contiguous United States, 1981-1990

Technical Report · Wed Jul 01 04:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:6275016

The outlook for electric power supply and demand in the United States for the decade 1981 to 1990 is reviewed from the perspective of reliability and adequacy of service. Electric power supply adequacy as projected for the nine Regional Reliability Council areas of the contiguous United States is reported. Interruptible load data reported by the Councils are reported, and a brief discussion of cogeneration is given. Each of the 27 Electric Regions (sub-areas of the nine Council areas) in the contiguous US are studied in detail. A glossary of terms is given and is followed by several appendices. Appendix A describes very briefly the Council structure, and includes a copy of the ERA-411 Manual, which contains all the items to which the Councils were asked to respond. Appendix A also includes a copy of the letter addressed to the President of the National Electric Reliability Council requesting the Councils to furnish data on cogeneration. Appendix B lists the utilities for which data is included in the report. Appendix C is the Staff Report, Estimated Electric Demand and Supply for Summer 1981, Contiguous United States dated May 1981.
