1989 electricity supply demand

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7160069
The North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) annually collects and publishes ten-year projections of electricity supply and demand of the nine Regional Reliability Councils. This 1989 Electricity Supply Demand report provides this data for the 1989--1998 period. The projections were developed by the nine Regional Reliability Councils and generally reflect conditions as of January 1, 1989. Data on peak demand, net energy for load, capacity resources, capacity margins, and planned additions and retirements of generating units have been extracted from the April 1, 1989 Coordinated Bulk Power Supply Program (IE-411) reports submitted to the US Department of Energy by each Regional Reliability Council. Data on generating capacity, electrical energy production, fossil fuel requirements, and existing and planned additions of transmission lines were reported by the Regional Reliability Councils directly to NERC. Areas served by the nine Regional Reliability Councils are shown on the inside back cover of this report. Five of the Regions -- MAIN, NPCC, SERC, SPP, and WSCC -- are broken down into subregions. The regional and subregional abbreviations used throughout this report are defined on page 174. The codes used in the appendixes to describe generating unit additions and retirements are defined on page 173. Data for that part of the Comision Federal de Electricidad system in the northern portion of Baja California, Mexico, which is interconnected with the US electric utility systems, is included under the category WSCC-Mexico or NERC-Mexico. This report also includes forecast bandwidths around the equal probability peak demand and annual net energy for load projections for NERC-US and NERC-Canada.
