During a certain week a power plant turns out 84,00,000 kWh and the peak load during the week is 100,000 kW. What is the load factor during the week? Correct Answer 50%

Load factor can be defined as the ratio of average load to the peak load over a given period. Average load = 84,000,000 / (24 x 7) = 50,000 kW L.F = Average load / Peak load = 50,000 / 100,000 = 0.5 or 50%.
