SPP Entergy Southern TVA Footprint<br />

Figure 3-13<br />

Total reserves (regulation, spin and supplemental but excluding contingency) for each scenario<br />

The dramatic reduction in <strong>to</strong>tal reserves with contingency reserves included is because for<br />

scenario 3 and 4, the regional contingency reserves are aggregated by using the maximum of the<br />

regional requirements. Figure 3-14 shows the <strong>to</strong>tal reserves with the contingency requirements<br />

added <strong>to</strong> the load and wind related values from Figure 3-13. There is nearly a 5000 MW<br />

reduction in <strong>to</strong>tal reserves for scenario 4 over scenarios 1 and 2. All but about 550 MW of this<br />

reduction is due <strong>to</strong> consolidation of contingency reserves.<br />
