of equipment installed or actions taken on the customer's premises.
(G) "Electric transmission owner" means the
owner of a major utility facility as defined in section

(H) "Energy-price
relationships" means the calculated or observed effect on peak load, load
shape, or energy consumption resulting from changes in the retail price of
electricity or other fuels.
(I)
"Forecast year," "year of the forecast," or "year zero" means the year in which
the forecast is filed.
(J)
"Forecast period" means year zero through year ten.
(K) "Integrated operating system" means a
group of electric transmission owners or electric utilities who are members of
a jointly or commonly operated system as a single entity.
(L) "Integrated resource plan" means that
plan or program, established by a person subject to the requirements of this
chapter, to furnish electric energy services in a cost-effective and reasonable
manner consistent with the provision of adequate and reliable service, which
gives appropriate consideration to supply- and demand-side resources and
transmission or distribution investments for meeting the person's projected
demand and energy requirements.
(M)
"Internal load" of a system means the summation of the net output of its
generators plus the net of interconnection receipts and deliveries.
(N) "Interruptible load" means load that can
be curtailed or reduced at the supplier's discretion or in accordance with a
contractual agreement.
(O) "Load"
means the amount of power needed to be delivered at a given point on an
electric system.
(P) "Load
modification" means the impact of a demand-side management, energy efficiency,
demand reduction, price responsive demand, or demand response program designed
to influence customers' patterns of electricity use in order to modify the
utility's load shape.
(Q) "Load
shape" means the distribution of a utility's total electricity demand measured
over time, usually expressed as a curve which plots megawatts supplied against
time of occurrence, and illustrates the varying magnitude of the load during
that time period.
(R) "Native load"
of a system means the internal load minus interruptible loads.
(S) "Nonutility generation" means any source
of electricity which is interconnected with a utility's system, but is not
exclusively owned by an electric utility.
(T) "Peak demand" or "peak load" means the
electric transmission owner's or electric utility's maximum sixty-minute
integrated clock hour predicted or actual load for the year.
(U) "Price responsive demand" means the
predictable response to changes in wholesale electricity prices of electricity
demand by consumers who are served at retail rates or prices that can vary
based on wholesale electricity prices or market conditions.

(X) "Supply-side resources"
mean those resources that directly increase the amount of electricity available
for consumption in a utility's certified territory.
(Y) "Transfer capability" means the ability
of the transmission owner's system to move power over its system to another
interconnected transmission system or distribution utility while meeting all
national standard reliability requirements.
(Z) "TTC" means total transfer capacity as
defined by the regional reliability organization standards and is the measure
of the ability of the interconnected electric systems to reliably move or
transfer power from one area to another over all transmission lines or paths
within the interconnected electric systems.
