14 Phoenix RMR Observations APS load is expected to exceed import capability for 845 hours in 2008, and 548 hours in RMR energy represents approximately 1% of the total energy. The projected reserves in both 2008 and 2015 are greater than the 99% reliability reserve requirement of 865 MW. Cost to run local generation outside of economic dispatch is less than $1M in both 2008 and Expected RMR costs do not justify Construction costs to relieve RMR requirements. June 6, th BTA 14
