1/ Represents the reduction in annual peak load achieved by consumers, at the time of annual peak load .
2/ Represents the potential peak load reduction as a result of load management, and also includes the actual peak load reduction achieved by energy efficiency programs.
3/ Represents the total 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).
4/ Refers to electric utilities with sales to ultimate consumers or sales for resale greater than or equal to 150 million kilowatthours.
5/ Includes programs aimed at reducing energy consumption over many hours during the year. These programs reduce load and if they coincide with periods of peak usage they are included in the actual peak load reduction. However, these programs cannot be implemented specifically at the time of peak usage.
6/ Represents the total effects caused by new participants in existing demand-side management programs and all participants in new programs during the year. Incremental effects are annualized to indicate the program effects that would have resulted had participants been initiated into the program on January 1 of the reporting year.
7/ Refers to electric utilities with sales to ultimate consumers and sales for resale less than 150 million kilowatthours.
Notes: · Data are final. · Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
