peak load

Solar tends to make up all of the peak load during the summer.

The peak load was reached during 1943 when approximately 20,000 troops were undergoing training at one time.

The group had predicted a peak load of 30,200 megawatts for the summer months, but it has not yet been reached.

A generating capacity reserve of about 25 percent above expected peak load is the usual practice.

Larger systems are limited to 3% of total peak load.

Peaking power plants meet the daily peak load, which may only be for a one or two hours each day.

High peak loads drive the capital expenditures of the electricity generation industry.

This approach is simple for networks with predictable peak loads.

All this has to be done before the peak loads come on again.

That means you don't have to build as many power plants to serve the peak load.
