Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report <br /> Gill Medical Center Project <br /> CAISO conducts an annual transmission planning process that uses engineering tools to identify any grid <br /> expansions necessary to maintain reliability, lower costs or meet future infrastructure needs based on <br /> public policies. CAISO engineers design, run and analyze complex formulas and models that simulate grid <br /> use under wide-ranging scenarios, such as high demand days coupled with wildfires. This process includes <br /> evaluating power plant proposals submitted for study into the interconnection queue to determine <br /> viability and impact to the grid.The long-term comprehensive transmission plan, completed every 15 <br /> months, maps future growth in electricity demand and the need to meet state energy and environmental <br /> goals that require the CAISO grid to connect to renewable-rich, but remote areas of the Western <br /> landscape. CAISO promotes energy efficiency through resource sharing. CAISO electricity distribution <br /> management strategy designed so that an area with surplus electricity can benefit by sharing megawatts <br /> with another region via the open market. This allows the dispatch of electricity as efficiently as possible. By <br /> maximizing megawatts as the demand for electricity increases, CAISO helps keep electricity flowing during <br /> peak periods. <br /> 4.8.1.3 Energy Consumption <br /> Electricity use is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), and natural gas use is measured in therms.Vehicle fuel <br /> use is typically measured in gallons (e.g. of gasoline or diesel fuel), although energy use for electric <br /> vehicles is measured in kWh. <br /> The electricity consumption associated with all non-residential uses in San Joaquin County from 2015 to <br /> 2019 is shown in Table 4.8-1.As indicated, the demand has increased slightly since 2015. <br /> Table 4.8-1.Non-Residential Electricity Consumption in San Joaquin County 2014-2018 <br /> Year Electricity Consumption(kilowatt hours) <br /> 2019 3,690,226,564 <br /> 2018 3,844,160,923 <br /> 2017 3,760,431,331 <br /> 2016 3,674,152,711 <br /> 2015 3,399,234,078 <br /> Source: CEC 2020 <br /> The natural gas consumption associated with all non-residential uses in san Joaquin County from 2015 to <br /> 2019 is shown in Table 4.8-2.As indicated, the demand has increased since 2015. <br /> Energy 4.8-3 October 2021 <br />
