2 II. REQUIRED INFORMATION
- 1. State separately for hydroelectric and thermal generating resources
+-
applicant 's most recent peak load and dependable capacity for the same time period. State applicant's dependable capacity at time of system peak for
- each of the next 10 years for which information is available. Identify each new unit or resource. For hydroelectric generating capacity, indicate the number of kilowatt hours of use associated with each kilowatt of capacity during the " adverse water year" upon which dependable capacity is based.
Indicate average annual kilowatt hour loads per kilowatt, associated with each system peak shown (exclusive of interchange arrangements) .
NCEMC and Saluda River members currently purchase 100's of their total requirements from neighboring utilities. NCEMC members purchase their total demand and energy requirements from the following neighboring utilities:
Duke Power Company, Carolina Power and Light Company (CPSL), Virginia Electric Power Company (VEPCO), and Nantahala Power and Light Company (NPSL) . Saluda River members currently purchase their total demand and energy requirements from Duke Power Company and South Carolina Electric and Gas Company. Both NCEMC and Saluda River receive a small allotment of hydroelectric power from the Southeastern Power Administration which is wheeled for the respective system by the neighboring utilities.
NCEMC's annual coincident (monthly) peak demand during 1979 was about 1,198.5 Mh' and occurred during the month of February. Saluda River's annual coincident.(monthly) peak der'nd during 1979 was about 236.0 MK -nd occurred during the month of February. Neither NCEMC nor Saluda River owns any generating resources.
NCEMC and Saluda River will have the right to utilize the output from their ownership interest in Catawba as they deem appropriate, provided, however, the use of such output does not . increase Duke Power's obligation
o .
3 II. REQUIRED INFORMATION-(Continued).
to provide supplemental capacity t- -re Appliccnts. At present, NCEMC and Saluda River plan to utilize the outpu, from Catawba to reduce power pur-chases from Duke Power Compe- .2 y . In addition, NCEMC and Saluda River will sell a portion of the capacity and associated energy from their entitle-ment to the output of' Catawba Units 1 and 2 to Duke Power over the first ten years of commercial operation of each unit on a declining schedule. This sale will enable NCEMC and Saluda River to gradually meet increasing base load requirements while achieving significant economic benefits for their member systems.
Since both NCEMC and Saluda River will utilize their share of Catawba in the Duke served area, Table 1 shows the annual system peak in the Duke served area only and the Catawba Retained Capacity for each cooperative.
NCEMC is currently investigating the economics of joint owner-ship in generation facilities with VEPCO, the feasibility of constructing
- a peat-fired unit and the feasibility of owning and operating small hydro-electric facilities. Saluda River is investigating the feasibility of owning and operating small hydroelectric facilities. Since no definite plans to proceed with the ownership ,f these resources has been made at present, their capacity contribution is not included in the response to this Item 1.
The average annual kilowatt hour loads par kilowatt associated with NCEMC's 1979 annual peak was 4,104 hours0.0012 days <br />0.0289 hours <br />1.719577e-4 weeks <br />3.9572e-5 months <br />. The average annual kilowatt hour loads per kilowatt associated with Saluda River's 1979 annual peak was 3,839 hours0.00971 days <br />0.233 hours <br />0.00139 weeks <br />3.192395e-4 months <br />. The projected average annual kilowatt hour loads per kilo-watt associated with both NCEMC and Saluda River's annual peak in the Duke served area shown'on Table 1 is about 3,942 hours0.0109 days <br />0.262 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.58431e-4 months <br />.

II. REQUIRED INFORMATION (Continued)
- 2. State applicant's estimated annual load growth for each of the next 20 years or for the period applicant utilizes in system planning.
Indicate growth both in kilowatt requirements and kilowatt hour requtrements.
The most recent " Power Requirements Study" (dated February, 1978) conducted by NCEMC and approved by REA forecasts an annual load growth of about 9.0 percent in the Duke Power served area during the period of 1976 to 1986. The most recent " Power Requirements Study" (dated March,1976) conducted by Saluda River and approved by REA forecasts an annual load growth of about 8.5 to 9.0 p'ercent in the Duke Power served area during the period 1975 and 1985. NCEMC is currently conducting a new " Power Require-ments Study". Results of this study will not be available until late 1980 or early 1981. Preliminary results from the updated Saluda River " Power Requirements Study" project load growth in the neighborhood of 7 percent per year over the period 1978 to 1982 in the Duke Power service area.
For economic feasibility analyses of the Catawba Project, both NCEMC and Saluda River have used an annual load growth of 5.0 percent for the study period,1983 to 1997 in the Duke served area. The Applicants believe that the 5.0 percent figure is more realistic than current load forecasts for their respective systems based on more recent experience and because it is consistent with forecasts of neighboring utility systems.
Growth in kilowatt hour requirements is projected to be the same as the growth in kilowatt requirements.

Describe methods used as a basis to establish, or as a guide in establishing the criterik for applicant's and/or applicant's pool's minimum amount of installed reserves (e.g. , (a) single largest unit down, (b) proba-bility methods such as loss of load one day in 20 years, loss of capacity once in 5 years, (c) other methods and/or (d) judgment. List contingencies other than risk of forced outage that enter into the determination) .
The reserve margin of 15*. is based on the provisions of the con-tractual agreements between Duke Power Company and NCEMC and Saluda River, individually. This contractual provision was negotiated between Duke and NCEMC and Saluda River and is consistent with generally accepted practice for interconnected systems. The reserve requirements are based on normal weather conditions, forced outage of the largest unit on the combined systems during the peak period, and reduction of the total capacity due to outages of. auxiliary equipment.
