1/ Represents the total annual effects caused by all participants in demand-side management programs in effect during a given year.  Included are new and existing participants in existing programs (those implemented in prior years that are in place during the reporting year) and all participants in new programs (those implemented during the reporting year).
2/ Represents the actual reduction in annual peak load achieved by consumers, at the time of annual peak load, as opposed to the installed peak load reduction capability (Potential Peak Reduction).
3/ Data represent the sum of the direct and indirect utility costs for the year and reflect the total cash expenditures incurred for the year, reported in nominal dollars, that flowed out to support demand-side management programs.  Nonutility costs are excluded.
       Notes: · Data are final.  · Data for 1998 through 2000 are provided for electric utilities with sales to ultimate consumers or sales for resale greater than or equal to 150 million kilowatthours, and for prior years greater than or equal to 120 million kilowatthours.
