Penn Power’s 2008 summer peak load, occurring on June 9, 2008, was 1,063 megawatts (MW), representing an increase of 2.0 percent from last year’s peak of 1,042 MW. The 2008-09 winter peak load of 891 MW was 5.0 percent lower than the previous year’s winter peak of 938 MW. The actual average annual peak load growth rate over the past 15 years was 2.9 percent. Penn Power’s forecast shows its peak load decreasing from 1,063 MW in the summer of 2008 to 941 MW in 2010, and then increasing to 995 MW by 2013 at a three-year average annual growth rate of 1.9 percent. The current forecast for 2009 is 3.5 percent above the previous forecast. See Figure 2.11. 1,100 Figure 2.11 Pennsylvania Power Company Historic & Forecast Peak Load 1,050 1,000 Megawatts 950 900 850 800 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Tables 2.16-2.19 provide Penn Power’s forecasts of peak load and residential, commercial and industrial energy demand from 1999 through 2009. The electrical systems of Penn Power and the other FirstEnergy operating companies are interconnected and fully integrated. All of Penn Power’s generating facility ownership (1,237 MW) was transferred in 2005. American Transmission Systems Inc. owns and operates the transmission assets of Penn Power and the Ohio FirstEnergy companies. 38 Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
