Distribution Planning and All-Electric Load Building

Planning of capacity additions to high-and low-tension distribution systems should provide both for near-future and long-range loads, which are expected to increase by a factor of three or four in 20 years. Bulk power distribution systems can now supply all-electric mass residential load competitively with other forms of energy. The distribution planner must work closely with all members of the utility organization to promote the electric load growth potential in the energy market.
