Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts assume a 3.1% annual economic growth between 1985 and 1990 and a 2.3% rate between 1990 and 1995. Current projections are for lower prices and higher consumption for petroleum and little change in natural gas markets. Total energy consumption is expected to grow by 2% between 1985 and 1990, with energy consumption per dollar of gross national product declining at about 1% per year. These projections are lower than those made previously because of the drop in world oil prices, the renewed strength in energy-intensive industries, and a strong trend toward electrification.
