With alignment, the 2010 Forecast would drop approximately 500 GWh per year. 7

Number of accounts forecast is lower than last year s due to lower housing starts projections. In the near term (F12-14), the current housing start projections are on average roughly 1,000 units (-4%) lower than the previous forecast. In addition, last year s forecast of account growth was lower than anticipated. This lower starting point combined with the near term lower housing starts projection has put downward pressure on the account growth over the long term. Residential sales were relatively flat on a weather adjusted basis between F10 and F11, therefore the starting point of this years forecast is lower than in The growth in population is somewhat higher, while the person income remains stable relative to previous forecast. In the long term, use per account reflects a balance between generally stronger economic drivers and higher end use penetration. Penetration in Other end uses, including secondary refrigeration, electric dryer, TV/home entertainment, clothes washer and cooking are higher than the previous forecast. Offsetting this is increased efficiencies due to the assumed enactment of efficiency standards and codes (prior to BC-based DSM). 9

In the medium to long term, the forecast is higher due to lower end-use equipment efficiency projections from the US Energy Information Administration. Heating and cooling efficiencies show the largest change, while other end-use efficiencies are somewhat improved. 10

In addition, near-term oil and gas and wood sector sales are lower. Therefore, both residential and general growth in the peak is lower relative to last year. In the medium term, due to mine closure deferrals, the transmission peak demand is above last year, consistent with energy forecast trends. In the long term, peak forecast is close to the 2010 forecast as the long term energy forecast is in line with the 2010 projection. No adjustments made in 2010 Forecast to align base years for DSM savings realized in F. With alignment, the 2010 Forecast would drop approximately 80 MW. 11
