Summary:

Five Year Assessment 2004-2008, Board of Governors Meeting, October 23, 2003

Extract:

This report is the first Five Year Assessment published by the California Independent System Operator (ISO). Since the California Energy Crisis of 2000-01, the ISO has regularly developed a forecasted mix of Loads, Resources, and Transmission in the ISO Control Area for the near-term season. In addition, the ISO has collaborated with State, Federal, and other agencies to help California plan to meet future electricity needs and to avoid future shortages such as those that the ISO experienced in 2001. While contributing in these processes, the ISO has received many requests to provide a long-term assessment of electricity needs in the ISO Control Area. This Five-Year Assessment provides a baseline forecast of ISO electricity needs and evaluates potentially adverse conditions, and additional risks and sensitivities.
