Notes:
-1. The combined systems capability shown did not occur coincindentally with the combined systems peak load.

-2. The CLECO system is entirely within Louisiana. The SWEPCO system includes portions of Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas.

-3. As a result of GSU's merger with Entergy on 12131/93, GSU's figures for 1994 areincluded with Entergy's. The Entergy system now includes portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Arkansas.

-4. 1995 peak loads and capabilities through mid-August.
