Capacity Margin

Difference between Installed Generation Capacity and Peak Load

For APG control area the following forecasts are available (2011 with Tyrol; 2012 whole Austria except one corridor in Vorarlberg):

2010 (GW)

2011 (GW)

2012 (GW)

1 Installed Generation Capacity

17.1

19.1

20.9

2 Not Reliably Available Capacity

3.4

3.8

4.2

3 Reliably Available Capacity (1 – 2)

13.7

15.3

16.7

4 Peak Load Forecast

9.1

10.4

11.2

5 Difference (3 – 4)

4.5

4.9

5.5

No power shortage is to be expected for APG control area because of many storage power plants. The limited power generation capability of storage power plants is not considered in this calculation.
