| Summary: | This paper initially discusses research areas of ORNL involvement in capacity planning. This paper then discusses the Client Problem: Should Oak Ridge provide services for the regulators and/or the regulated. Next, the paper highlights evidence that there may be an upcoming electric capacity shortage - based upon a focused regional analysis and some general national observations. Fourth, the paper discusses some new directions which ORNL is currently pursuing in forecasting the demand side of capacity planning - with emphases placed upon variable level of detail and cost-effective for regulator operation. Finally, the paper concludes with a challenge to any and all mid-to-long term capacity planners to cost-effectively beat the weighted electricity growth prediction of GNP growth plus or minus regional development possibilities. |
