[1] Net Internal Demand represent the system demand that is planned for by the electric power industry`s reliability authority and is equal toInternal Demand less Direct Control Load Management and Interruptible Demand. [2] Capacity Resources: Utility and nonutility-owned generating capacity that is existing or in various stages of planning or construction,less inoperable capacity, plus planned capacity purchases from other resources, less planned capacity sales. [3] Capacity Margin is the amount of unused available capability of an electric power system at peak load as a percentage of capacity resources. Notes: • NERC region and reliability assessment area maps are provided on EIA's Electricity Reliability web page: http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/electricity/page/eia411/eia411.html •Peak load represents an hour of a day during the associated peak period. •The Winter peak period begins October 1 and extends through May 31. •Historically the MRO, RFC, SERC, and SPP regional boundaries were altered as utilities changed reliability organizations. The historical dataseries for these regions have not been adjusted. Instead, the Balance of Eastern Region category was introduced to to provide a consistenttrend of the Eastern interconnection. •ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN dissolved at the end-of-2005. Many of the former utility members joined RFC. Reliability First Corporation (RFC) came into existence on January 1, 2006. RFC submitted a consolidated filing covering the historical NERC regions of ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN. •NA - Not Available Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Form EIA-411, "Coordinated Bulk Power Supply and Demand Program Report." |
