[1] ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN dissolved at the end of 2005. Utility membership joined other reliability regional councils. Also, see Footnote 3. [2] Regional name has changed from Mid-Continent Area Power Pool to Midwest Reliability Organization. [3] ReliabilityFirst Corporation (RFC) came into existence on January 1, 2006, and submitted a consolidated filing covering the historical NERC regions of ECAR, MAAC, and MAIN. Many of the former utility members joined RFC. NA = Not available. Notes: Projected data are updated annually, so revision superscript is not used. Nerc Regions are provided in Appendix A., Technical Notes. Represents an hour of a day during the associated peak period. The summer peak period begins on June 1 and extends through September 30. The winter peak period begins on December 1 and extends through the end of February of the following year The MRO, SERC, and SPP regional boundaries were altered as a variety of utilities changed reliability organizations. The historical data series have not been adjusted. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
