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.
•Net Energy for Load represents net Balancing Authority Area generation, plus energy received from other Balancing Authority Areas, less energy delivered to other Balancing Authority Areas through interchange.
• 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.
