This report describes the methodology and use of the National Utility Financial Statement (NUFS) model. NUFS is a financial model used by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to forecast financial variables for the electric utility industry. The NUFS methodology is now embedded in the Electricity Market Module of the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS) in which it is used to forecast electricity prices and financial parameters for the electric utility industry. In addition, the NUFS methodology can be used in a similar manner in conjunction with the National Coal Model (NCM). This report describes in detail the model's methodology, inputs, outputs, running procedures, and the computer code. This volume is meant to replace all earlier descriptions of the NUFS model and describe the current NUFS methodology as of March 1, 1988.
