Metropolitan Edison Company Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed) provides service to 549,486 electric utility customers in Eastern and Southcentral Pennsylvania. In 2008, Met-Ed had total energy sales of 14.2 billion kilowatthours (KWH) -- down 0.7 percent from 2007. Residential sales dominated Met-Ed’s market with 39.3 percent of total sales, followed by commercial (33.5 percent) and industrial (26.9 percent). Residential and commercial sales increased from 2007, while industrial sales declined 4.0 percent. Industrial sales were 86.8 percent of the highest level occurring in 2000. Between 1993 and 2008, Met-Ed’s energy demand grew at an average rate of 3.0 percent per year. Residential and commercial sales have maintained relatively steady growth over the period (2.6 percent for residential and 3.6 percent for commercial), while industrial sales have fluctuated considerably. Industrial sales grew at an average rate of about 0.3 percent. The current five-year projection of growth in total energy demand is 2.0 percent. This includes a residential growth rate of 2.2 percent, a commercial growth rate of 2.6 percent and an industrial rate of 1.1 percent. See Figure 2.6. 6,500 Figure 2.6 Metropolitan Edison Company Historic & Forecast Energy Demand 6,000 Gigawatthours 5,500 5,000 4,500 4,000 3,500 3,000 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Residential Commercial Industrial Electric Power Outlook for Pennsylvania 2008-2013 27
Met-Ed’s summer peak load, occurring on June 10, 2008, was 3,045 megawatts (MW), representing an increase of 7.8 percent from last year’s system peak of 2,825 MW. The 2008-09 winter peak load was 2,622 MW or 5.0 percent higher than the previous year’s winter peak of 2,498 MW. The actual average annual peak load growth rate over the past 15 years was 3.0 percent. Met-Ed’s forecast shows its peak load dropping from 3,045 MW to 2,829 MW in 2009 (7.1 percent) and increasing thereafter to 3,158 MW by 2013, or a four-year average annual growth rate of 2.8 percent. The current forecast for 2009 is one percent below the previous forecast. See Figure 2.7. 3,200 Figure 2.7 Metropolitan Edison Company Historic & Forecast Peak Load 3,100 3,000 2,900 Megawatts 2,800 2,700 2,600 2,500 2,400 2,300 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Tables 2.8-2.11 provide Met-Ed’s forecasts of peak load and residential, commercial and industrial energy demand from 1999 through 2009. A restructuring settlement, approved by the Commission in 1998, provided for the transfer of 80 percent of Met-Ed’s Provider of Last Resort (PLR) responsibility to other generation suppliers by June 2003. Since this did not occur, Met-Ed retains PLR responsibility for those customers who do not choose an alternate energy supplier and currently supplies nearly all of its PLR customers. Met-Ed divested most of its generation facilities in 1999. Met-Ed sold the York Haven generating station (19.4 MW) during 2007. 28 Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
