Utilities are showing more willingness to let lower demand forecasts reflect unfavorable economic conditions, but they may now be overreacting to short-term situations. Long-term growth estimates based on demand estimates of real rates and real gross national product (GNP) suggest a demand growth of 4.5 and 5% per year, given a 3% growth in real GNP and a 2% growth in electric rates, and not the 2.5% estimated by the utility industry.
