l 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 proposed capacity. ` ESRPs 9.1 and 9.2.1. Provide the power and energy requirements as determined through this analysis. Data and Information Needs Affected States and/or regions continue to prepare need-for-power evaluations for proposed energy facilities. The NRC will review the evaluation and determine if it is (1) systematic, (2) comprehensive, (3) subject to confirmation, and (4) responsive to forecasting uncertainty. Forecasts should include demand scenarios for midrange, high, low, 75th percentile, and 25th percentile conditions. If the need- for-power evaluation is found acceptable, no additional independent review by the NRC is needed, and the analysis can be the basis for ESRPs 8.2 through 8.4. October 1999 8.2.1-3 NUREG-1555 If an analysis meeting the preceding criteria is not available, the following data or information should be obtained by NRC staff for review of the applicant’s need-for-power analysis: ` historical and projected electrical energy use by major categories in the relevant service area. Data should cover the 15 years preceding the date of application through the 3rd year of commercial operation of all proposed units. Major categories are those that account for 5% or more of the relevant service area consumption, including residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, large special loads (such as Federal installations or highly electricity intensive industries), street lighting, municipal systems and co-ops, other utilities, and rapid transit systems. ` forecasts of all aggregate long-range consumption and system peakload demand made during the 15 years preceding the date of application ` the yearly increase in total kilowatt-hour (kWh) sales for the 15 years preceding the date of application and an average annual compound growth rate
