NIKAL MAN TO
NOTES ON ANNEX A
that
(1) The maximun demand is expressed in megavatto
(mw). In examining the figures for maximum
demand, two points should be taken into
account:
(a) Generating capacity must always exceed
maximum demand by about 30%, as there
must be standby capacity to cover
routine maintenance and the possibility
of generator failure.
(b) The maximum demand is normally reached
for only a comparatively short time daily
during the peak months of July, August
and September. In the case of CLP
(the biggest company), for example, the
load factor (i.e. utilisation of plant)
is therefore expected to remain at a
figure of only 50 - 60% in the
foreseeable future.
(2) Both companies consider that the very high
growth rate experienced in 1977 and in 1978
(approximately 13%) will drop in future
years from a figure of 11% in 1979 to less
than 8% in 1992.
