Projected annual resource requirements at the national and regional level for the Department of Commerce energy forecast, 1985 and 2000
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5058155
This report describes the resource implications at the national and regional level for a likely energy supply and consumption forecast for 1985 and 2000 by the Department of Commerce. Total energy resource consumption is projected to increase at an average annual rate of 1.8% for the 1977-2000 period. Electric energy consumption is projected to grow at 4.2% per year. US energy consumption, expressed in quadrillion Btu's (quads) is projected at 87 quads in 1985 and 116 quads in the year 2000. Projected energy supply and consumption levels were simulated using Bechtel's Energy Supply Planning Model, which calculated the direct resource requirements for capital, labor, materials and equipment, land and water, and operations and maintenance costs to construct, operate, and maintain energy-related facilities at the national and regional level. Results of the analysis indicate projected cumulative capital requirements of 1.6 trillion January 1978 dollars during the 1977-2000 forecast period.
