Supplementary notes

* WECC was renamed from WSCC in 2002.
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 WECC stands for Western Electricity Coordinating Council. WECC's territory extends from Canada to Mexico, including the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, the northern portion of Baja California, Mexico, and all or portions of the 14 Western states between.
Data include the U.S. portion of NERC only.
