The graph depicts the electric noncoincident summer peak load for the contiguous United States between 1990 and 2015. The 2015 summer peak load was around 741 gigawatts. The summer peak period is June through September.
Electric noncoincident summer peak load for the contiguous United States from 1990 to 2015
(in megawatts)
The figure for 2011 represents a forecast. The summer peak period is June through September. Noncoincident peak load is the sum of two or more peak loads on individual systems that do not occur at the same time interval. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Data include the U.S. portion of NERC only.
