The Northwest Power Planning Council (Council) is required by the Northwest Power Planning and Conservation Act to produce 20-year forecasts of the demand for electricity in the Pacific Northwest region. The Bonneville Power Administration needs long-term forecasts of demand for a number of different purposes. In the past, Bonneville and the Council have shared data and research. In November 1988, for the first time, the two organizations published a cooperative long-term forecast of electricity demand. The forecasts described in this paper were modified slightly from the November 1988 draft supplement forecasts. Therefore, these forecasts represent another step in an ongoing monitoring and updating of regional demand forecasts. The forecasts were subjected to intense scrutiny by Council and Bonneville staff.
