Supplementary notes

* MRO was renamed from MAPP in 2004.
** This figure represents a forecast.
The winter peak period is December through February of the following year.
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.
The abbreviation MRO stands for Midwest Reliability Organization. MRO covers the provinces of Saskathchewan and Manitoba, the states of North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska and portions of South Dakota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Montana.
Data include the U.S. portion of NERC only.
