PA PUC asks electric distribution companies for consumption projections and peak demand data
January 28, 2009 · Filed Under Electric Power · Comment
Pennsylvania Act 129, passed in late 2008, requires the state’s electric distribution companies (EDCs) to reduce electricity consumption by 1% by May 31, 2011, and by 3% by May 31, 2013. The Act also requires a 4.5% reduction in peak demand by May 31, 2013.
On January 15, 2009 the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) ordered EDC’s with more than 100,000 customers to submit consumption forecasts (i.e. baselines) against which the mandated 1% and 3% reductions in consumption will be measured. Each EDC must also submit hourly peak megawatt load (MW) data to the PUC, against which the 4.5% reduction in peak demand will be measured.
