Raymond,

I owe you and the rest of the thread an apology. My statement that load was 10,000MW lower than last year is in error.

This mistake was made because: 1. I remembered that in early May of 2000, the CAISO had a press release (recently obtained from their web site) that stated that they expected demand during a normal summer day to be ~45,000MW going as high as 48,000 MW during a hot day. 2. Lately, I saw that peak consumption was running ~32,000MW (also according to the ISO site).

From what I can find now. Peak loads last August never reached 45K MW maybe not even 44K. Due to ordered conservation efforts mandated by the Governor, and power shedding by large consumers by order of the ISO?

I see now that the proper way loads are being compared, is to look at days with similar temperatures, then looking at loads this year vs. last. This difference seems to be running around 4,000MW.
