IntroductionExecutive Summary

Owen Electric Cooperative (Owen Electric) located in Owenton, Kentucky, is an electric distribution cooperative that serves members in nine counties. This load forecast report contains Owen Electric’s long-range forecast of energy and peak demand.

 Owen Electric and its power supplier, East Kentucky Power Cooperative (EKPC), worked jointly to prepare the load forecast. Factors considered in preparing the forecast include the national and local economy, population and housing trends, service area industrial development, electric price, household income, weather, and appliance efficiency changes.

 EKPC prepared a preliminary load forecast, which was reviewed by Owen Electric for reasonability. Final projections reflect a rigorous analysis of historical data combined with the experience and judgment of the manager and staff of Owen Electric. Key assumptions are reported beginning on page 22.

Narrative (continued)Local Economy and Customer GrowthResidential

A major portion of Owen EC’s residential growth continues to come from the large-scale developments in the northern service area. The local economy continues to remain strong.

Much of the growth takes place around the Northern Kentucky/ Greater Cincinnati Airport and the middle of Kenton County south of the Ft. Mitchell area. These areas have had two new substations added in recent years and four substations in the area have been upgraded. Two additional substations are being evaluated in the area.

The Alexandria area in Campbell County has continued to expand and with the new Hwy. 27 relocation the growth in the area will remain strong. Several other road projects will open up areas for development and they include the Turkeyfoot Road realignment (Kenton), Hwy 17 (Kenton), Hwy 42 (Boone) and the I-71/Markland Dam Connector (Gallatin).

Narrative (continued)Local Economy and Customer GrowthCommercial

Commercial connects have remained strong with OEC adding several large loads last several years. Airpark International is a 300 acre site with only two or three lots remaining. There is property available that could be encompassed in this park in the future.

IDI Inc. has developed a 125 acre, Parkwest, tract in the Hebron area. Parkwest is a combination of warehouse and light industrial loads. There are no more lots to be developed in this park and the Hebron Substation was constructed to accommodate the loads in the area and in Parkwest.

Airpark West and Gateway Industrial Park, located near Bullitsville Substation, have three large loads presently located there with many lots available. Several large loads have been inquiring about lots in these parks.

Narrative (continued)Local Economy and Customer GrowthIndustrial Parks

Circleport II and Riverview Business Park, located in and around the Smith Substation, have been active with one or two buildings being added every year or so. Smith Substation has been expanded to a dual station to accommodate the load in the area. Circleport has several large lots remaining as does Riverview.

Enterprise V in Kenton County and Richwood Industrial Park in Boone have several lots available.

Other areas in the nine counties serve large loads and are dispersed throughout the OEC service territory and much of the land along the Ohio River Valley continues to be viable for large industrial/commercial locations.

All of the projections are very similar to what was used in the 2004 Load Forecast. However, the 2004 Load Forecast assumption was just below 8 by 2024 whereas this update shows the trend continuing above 8.

Key Assumptions (continued)Weather

• Weather data is from the Covington weather station.

• Normal weather, a 30-year average of historical temperatures, is assumed for the forecast years.

Methodology and ResultsIntroduction

This section briefly describes the methodology used to develop the load forecast and presents results in tabular and graphical form for residential and commercial classifications. Table 1-3 through Table 1-5 shows historical data for Owen Electric as reported on RUS Form 736 and RUS Form 5.

 

A preliminary forecast is prepared during the first quarter depending on when Owen Electric experiences its winter peak. The first step is modeling the regional economy. Population, income, and employment are among the areas analyzed. The regional model results are used in combination with the historical billing information, appliance saturation data, appliance efficiency data, and weather data to develop the long range forecast.

Methodology and Results (continued)

The preliminary forecast was presented to Owen Electric staff, and reviewed by the Rural Utilities Services (RUS) Field Representative. Changes were made to the forecast as needed based on new information, such as new large loads or subdivisions. In some instances, other assumptions were changed based on insights from Owen Electric staff. Input from EKPC and Owen Electric results in the best possible forecast.

Methodology and Results (continued)Residential Forecast

Residential customers are analyzed by means of regression analysis with resulting coefficients used to prepare customer projections. Regressions for residential customers are typically a function of regional economic and demographic variables. Two variables that are very significant are the numbers of households by county in each member system's economic region and the percent of total households served by the member system. Table 1-6 and Figure 1-8 report Owen Electric’s customer forecast.

The residential energy sales were projected using a statistically adjusted end-use (SAE) approach. This method of modeling incorporates end-use forecasts and can be used to allocate the monthly and annual forecasts into end-use components. This method, like end-use modeling, requires detailed information about appliance saturation, appliance use, appliance efficiencies, household characteristics, weather characteristics, and demographic and economic information. The SAE approach segments the average household use into heating, cooling, and water heating end-use components. See Figure 1-9. This model accounts for appliance efficiency improvements. Table 1-6 reports Owen Electric’s energy forecast.
