Abstract

This chapter presents the data on generation and consumption of energy which is used throughout this monograph. Energy consumption is described by patterns in the system load, as well as consumption by consumer type. Energy supply is described by data on the composition of installed generation equipment and their estimated levelized costs of energy (LCOE). The availability of existing and potential renewable energy resources is also described. Finally, the electric tariff structure for consumers is discussed.
