An econometric forecast of electric energy and peak demand on the Delmarva Peninsula. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5415732

This report presents forecasts of electric power demands through 1995 for the Delmarva Peninsula. Forecasts are based upon a series of econometric equations of the demand for electricity. Residential energy usage (per customer) is explained mainly by real income, electricity prices and weather, while commercial and industrial usage (per employee) is explained mainly by the wage rate and electricity prices. All energy equations are made dynamic through the use of a lagged dependent variable. A number of forecast scenarios were constructed based upon varying assumptions concerning the local economy, electricity prices and regulatory practices.
