Grid planners

What upper peak assumption must the capacity plan accommodate?

The reference peak range is 1.1 GW–1.4 GW. Average load alone does not establish adequate firm capacity.

Citywide reference · not an observed reading or a local allocation

Evidence needed before a decision

Peak capacity, dispatchability and load readings are not established by the average planning load.

Utility operators

How does average demand relate to the peak planning range?

The reference peak range is 1.1 GW–1.4 GW. Average load alone does not establish adequate firm capacity.

Asset financiers

What share of renewal need is funded in the reference model?

72% of reference renewal need is funded; the annual gap is 0.28 bn/yr.

These are the existing citywide reference calculations. They are not observed outcomes or allocations to a district, neighbourhood or facility. The interactive dashboard exposes each measure’s source, units and calculation. Scenario changes remain modelled outputs.
