Output Variable associated with ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric not working

Hi,

I am trying to setup a Baseboard Heater in EnergyPlus using the code as follows:

ZoneHVAC:Baseboard:Convective:Electric, Zone A BASEBOARD, !- Name Zone A Heating Availability Sch, !- Availability Schedule Name HeatingDesignCapacity, !- Heating Design Capacity Method 5000, !- Heating Design Capacity {W} , !- Heating Design Capacity Per Floor Area {W/m2} , !- Fraction of Autosized Heating Design Capacity 0.97; !- Efficiency

There are many outputs available for this class and I am interested in the output 'HVAC,Sum,Baseboard Electric Energy [J]'. I checked my RDD file and it is available.

But, whenever I try to request this output, I get the following error:

The following Report Variables were requested but not generated -- check.rdd file * ~~~ * Either the IDF did not contain these elements, the variable name is misspelled,

I checked everything but EPlus is still throwing that error. Please help to fix this.

Thank you for your time..
