The minimum amount of electric power delivered or required over a given period of time at a steady rate.

Base load is the level below which electricity demand never drops, i.e. a site with a high maximum demand of 750 kVa whose demand never drops below 250 kVa would have a base load of 250 kVa.

Market requirements that remain fairly constant over a period of time that usually are not temperature sensitive.

The minimum amount of electric power delivered or required over a given period of time at a steady rate. The minimum continuous load or demand in a power system over a given period of time

The minimum amount of electricity used in a half hour period.

That part of electricity demand which is continuous, and does not vary over a 24-hour period. Approximately equivalent to the minimum daily load.

Base load is the rate of delivery (or demand) below which sendout (or demand) is not expected to fall during a given period.

The amount of electricity needed to meet minimum demand based on reasonable expectations of customer requirements at any point in time.

When talking about power stations, the minimum amount of electricity that a power generator must supply at any given time

 The minimum amount of electric power delivered or required from a generating system over a specified period of time; usually measured in megawatts.

The minimum continuous load over a given period of time. Base load generating stations operate essentially at full output whenever possible.

The minimum constant level of electric demand that a utility's generating system must meet.

The lowest level of power production needs during a season or year. (SOURCE: California Energy Commission, http://www.consumerenergycenter.org)

The minimum energy level an electric plant must provide you on a constant basis.

base load is the term applied to that portion of a station or boiler load that is practically constant for long periods.

The minimum amount of electric power that a utility must supply over a given period of time.

The minimum load experienced by an electric utility system over a given period of time. Baseload capacity - Generating equipment operated to serve loads 24-hours per day (eg. nuclear power plants).
