Demand is calculated using energy projections <br /> Lower Electric Load which are correlated to population growth. A comparison of <br /> Growth historical and projected population compounded annual growth rates <br /> for MMPA member cities shows a deceleration in population <br /> growth across all MMPA members for the projection period. Please <br /> see Section 4 for details. <br /> Additional Members MMPA's projected demand requirements would increase if the <br /> Would Increase Agency were to take on additional members. This IRP assumes that <br /> Demand the 12-member Agency does not take on any additional members <br /> Requirements during the projection period. <br /> Large Retail Load MMPA's projected demand requirements would increase if its <br /> Additions Would members were to take on new large retail loads. This IRP does not <br /> Increase Demand include any new large retail loads during the projection period. <br /> Requirements <br /> Less Supply from Two of MMPA's members currently receive allocations of power <br /> WAPA Would (approximately 15.7 MW) from the WAPA. Both members have <br /> Increase Demand long-term contracts for these power allocations. However, WAPA <br /> Requirements could reduce the amount of energy and power available to its <br /> customers in the future. This would represent a policy change from <br /> the past. If WAPA decreases the power available to its customers, <br /> MMPA's demand requirements would increase, because the Agency <br /> 91 <br />
