(2)Data submission. Each electricity provider, except operators of wholesale merchant plants, shall calculate electric power supply for the 7-year period encompassing the SEA and submit the results to the commission. Any part of a capacity purchase without reserves, as defined in s. PSC 111.23 (1) (a), that is intended to compensate for transmission losses associated with delivery of that purchase, shall be excluded from the calculation of electricity power supply. All miscellaneous supply factors that decrease supply resources shall be deducted from electric power supply.
