Please explain what criteria is utilized to include new load into the data center forecast? Please provide the list of the pending data center load requests.

The Company forecasts data center load based on over 12-years of metered load by customer. The Company forecasts its 7 largest or fastest growing customers and forecasts all remaining customers as a combined segment. The Company has 47 GW of potential projects in its queue. This is made up of connected projects, those under construction, and those in engineering. Project and customers specific information is confidential, and the Company does not forecast by project.

Other Stakeholder Questions and Answers

How are the three levels of contracts used to produce the load forecast? Specifically, ESA, SELOA, and CLOA contracts. When data centers are not yet approved by localities, but SELOA's have been signed, are those included in the load forecast?
Can you confirm that LDES technology will be modeled in the IRP? And if so, how will that be represented in the model?
