State energy policy: energy-facility siting in northwest Indiana

Technical Report · Mon Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:6235802

Existing federal and state policies that affect energy facility siting and Indiana's progress in meeting the northwest region's energy needs are reviewed. A physical inventory of socio-economic parameters which may affect energy demand is developed, and a survey of existing energy systems in the region is presented. Further, a scenario of growth in regional electricity needs is drawn. State policy alternatives for meeting these future energy needs of the region are identified, and institutional problems associated with implementation of these policies are examined. It is concluded that Indiana does not have a comprehensive State policy or program which regulates the siting of energy facilities in this northwest region or elsewhere. (MCW)
