A review of Pennsylvania's proposed conservation plan was completed. If the Pennsylvania goal is achieved, the impact of the plan, as a whole, will be to reduce the State's 1980 energy consumption by 301.61 trillion (1012) BTU; of this, 239.50 x 1012 BTU will be non-electrical and 62.11 x 1012 BTU will come from fuels used to generate electricity. This, measured against the FEA 1980 baseline projection for Pennsylvania of 4,360.96 trillion Btu, equals a 6.9% savings. These savings, measured across end-use sectors, result in an absolute decrease in every environmental residual measured from each fuel consumed within each sector. This should indicate that conservation opportunities are also fairly evenly distributed. Judging from the Commonwealth's plan, this is, indeed the case. The residential and commercial sectors combined (where building heating, lighting, and cooling are the largest energy users) account for about 31% of end use consumption; 34.6% of targeted savings are from this area. The transportation ratio is 20.2% to 13.4% and for industry it is 48.8 to 52.
