Jaske, M R

The synopsis reviews the workshop proceedings and the conclusions drawn from the February 1980 workshop to examine the electricity demand forecasts of Pacific Gas and Electric, Southern California Edison Company (SCE), and the California State Energy Commission. Two major areas of consensus were apparent from extended discussion by all parties present. First, the CEC end-use forecasting model was significantly superior to the macro-econometric approach for long-term base-load power-plant siting, and second, all participants asked for better documentation of the CEC model.
