Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) "ATC" means
			 available transfer capability as defined by the regional reliability
			 organization standards.
(B)
			 "Alternative energy resource" means an advanced energy resource or renewable energy
			 resource, as defined in section
			 4928.01 of the Revised
			 Code.
(C) "Available system
			 capability" means the installed capability of all generating units on the
			 utility system plus firm purchases.
(D) "Capability" means the net seasonal
			 demonstrated rating of generating equipment, as defined by the regional
			 reliability organization reliability standards.
(E) "Certified territory" means the service
			 area established for an electric supplier under sections
			 4933.81 to
			 4933.90 of the Revised
			 Code.
(F) "Demand-side management"
			 means those programs or activities that are designed to modify the magnitude
			 and/or patterns of electricity consumption in a utility's service area by means
			 of equipment installed or actions taken on the customer's premises.
(G) "Electric transmission owner" means the
			 owner of a major utility facility as defined in section
			 4935.04 of the Revised
			 Code.
(H) "Energy-price
			 relationships" means the calculated or observed effect on peak load, load
			 shape, or energy consumption resulting from changes in the retail price of
			 electricity or other fuels.
(I)
			 "Forecast year," "year of the forecast," or "year zero" means the year in which
			 the forecast is filed.
(J)
			 "Forecast period" means year zero through year ten.
(K) "Integrated operating system" means a
			 group of electric transmission owners or electric utilities who are members of
			 a jointly or commonly operated system as a single entity.
(L) "Integrated resource plan" means that
			 plan or program, established by a person subject to the requirements of this
			 chapter, to furnish electric energy services in a cost-effective and reasonable
			 manner consistent with the provision of adequate and reliable service, which
			 gives appropriate consideration to supply- and demand-side resources and
			 transmission or distribution investments for meeting the person's projected
			 demand and energy requirements.
(M)
			 "Internal load" of a system means the summation of the net output of its
			 generators plus the net of interconnection receipts and deliveries.
(N) "Interruptible load" means load that can
			 be curtailed or reduced at the supplier's discretion or in accordance with a
			 contractual agreement.
(O) "Load"
			 means the amount of power needed to be delivered at a given point on an
			 electric system.
(P) "Load
			 modification" means the impact of a demand-side management, energy efficiency,
			 demand reduction, price responsive demand, or demand response program designed
			 to influence customers' patterns of electricity use in order to modify the
			 utility's load shape.
(Q) "Load
			 shape" means the distribution of a utility's total electricity demand measured
			 over time, usually expressed as a curve which plots megawatts supplied against
			 time of occurrence, and illustrates the varying magnitude of the load during
			 that time period.
(R) "Native load"
			 of a system means the internal load minus interruptible loads.
(S) "Nonutility generation" means any source
			 of electricity which is interconnected with a utility's system, but is not
			 exclusively owned by an electric utility.
(T) "Peak demand" or "peak load" means the
			 electric transmission owner's or electric utility's maximum sixty-minute
			 integrated clock hour predicted or actual load for the year.
(U) "Price responsive demand" means the
			 predictable response to changes in wholesale electricity prices of electricity
			 demand by consumers who are served at retail rates or prices that can vary
			 based on wholesale electricity prices or market conditions.
(V) "Renewable energy resource" has the
			 meaning set forth in division (A)(37) of section
			 4928.01 of the Revised
			 Code.
(W) "Reporting person" means
			 any person required to file a long-term forecast report under section
			 4935.04 of the Revised
			 Code.
(X) "Supply-side resources"
			 mean those resources that directly increase the amount of electricity available
			 for consumption in a utility's certified territory.
(Y) "Transfer capability" means the ability
			 of the transmission owner's system to move power over its system to another
			 interconnected transmission system or distribution utility while meeting all
			 national standard reliability requirements.
(Z) "TTC" means total transfer capacity as
			 defined by the regional reliability organization standards and is the measure
			 of the ability of the interconnected electric systems to reliably move or
			 transfer power from one area to another over all transmission lines or paths
			 within the interconnected electric systems.
