For purposes of allocating energy, peak load contributions, and transmission obligations, BGE will adhere to the philosophy that "the sum of the parts must equal the whole" on a non-discriminatory basis.

• For energy allocation, all customer loads will be summed (after grossing up for system losses as described in the BGE Loss Factors link) and compared to the PJM BGE zonal hourly energy.  The hourly residual, or mismatch, will be allocated back to all electricity suppliers proportional to their load.

• For peak load contribution calculations, all customer loads will be summed (after grossing up for system losses as described in the BGE Loss Factors link) and compared to the PJM BGE zonal obligation for capacity or transmission.  The residual, or mismatch, will be allocated back to all electricity suppliers proportional to their peak load contribution.
