he utility’s own generating resources. Trading of electricity will be further facilitated by the Federal Energy NUREG-1555 8.2.1-2 October 1999 Regulatory Commission’s (FERC’s) final rule (61 FR 21540) requiring all public utilities that own, control, or operate facilities used for transmitting electric energy in interstate commerce to have on file open-access nondiscriminatory transmission tariffs that contain minimum terms and conditions on nondiscriminatory service. The term “relevant service area” is used here to indicate any region to be served by the proposed facility, whether or not it corresponds to a traditional utility service area. Relevant service area is a situation-specific concept and must be defined on a case-by-case basis. As an example of changes, the relevant service area could be interpreted as a power marketing area encompassing all of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. The concept of “relevant region” is also introduced here to mean an area for which electricity demand forecasts are prepared, such as the Northeast Power Coordinating Council region, which might (or might not) include the relevant service area. Review Interfaces The reviewer for this ESRP should obtain input from and provide input to the reviewers for the following ESRPs, as indicated: ` ESRP 8.1. Obtain a description of the power system in the relevant service area. Special attention should be given to anomalies, such as extremely large industrial customers, that may affect energy and peak load forecasts. ` ESRP 8.2.2. Obtain data on power and energy requirements and provide the historic and projected growth data that are considered appropriate for the relevant service area to support the forecast analysis. This may or may not be the applicant’s historical service area, even if the applicant is a traditional electric utility. ` ESRP 8.4. Provide the range of forecasts developed from this plan for assessing the need for baseload generating units of the
