At the end of 1949, the total installed capacity of the utility systems in the principal market area7 (except Los Angeles) was about 2,338,000 kilowatts, of which about 1,517,000 kilowatts was hydroelectric capacity and the re- mainder fuel-electric capacity. f Power Supply Area 46, as designated by the Federal Power Commission. Approximately a third of the capacity in the principal market area is supplied by fuel and two- thirds by hydro-generated power. The December 1949 peak demand on these systems was 2,244,000 kilowatts, indicating a narrow margin of reserve capacity. More than 95 percent of the area load is supplied through the system of the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. It is estimated that the peak demand on the systems in the area will exceed 3 million kilowatts by 1953. 93 |
