Content:
uitable analysis is not available, the following data or information should be obtained.(a) ` The administrative structure of the current generating supply system in the relevant regional grid and the applicant’s relationship to this structure in terms of current and projected power supply. Full account should be taken of non-discriminatory access rules as promulgated by the FERC.(b) ` The projected regional system reserve margins of relevant electric utilities and other generators should be for a 6-year period starting with the 1st year of commercial operation of the proposed facility. ` The projected peak loads of the electric utilities in the area being served, load duration curve, and baseload for the same 6-year period. ` Transmission intertie capability within the relevant region’s plant and between the systems identified in the first bulleted item in this list during the initial years of plant operation. ` A listing of the plants in the relevant service area scheduled for retirement during the period extending from date of application through the 6th year of commercial operation of the proposed project, including existing nuclear power plants within the relevant region that are near the end of their license and are candidates for license renewal. Power plants available for reactivation should also be considered. ` The expected plant generating capacity, projected availability factor, environmental impacts, and operating costs (including capital costs required to put the unit back on line) of any plants with the potential for reactivation or extended operation. ` The potential for energy conservation within the relevant service area (from ESRP 8.2.2.2). II.
