Energy sector capital requirements, 1978--1985. Technical memorandum

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

OSTI ID:6272004

This memorandum describes the approach used, and documents the values derived, by the Logistics Management Institute (LMI) to estimate capital requirements for the energy sector of the U.S. economy for the period 1/1/1978 to 1/1/1985. DOE, in its preparation of a Capital Requirements chapter for the 1978 Annual Administrator's Report, discusses the capital requirements of the energy-supply industries needed to produce the energy-equilibrium levels projected to 1985 by the Project Independence Evaluation System (PIES). Tabulated data in this report summarize the capital requirements estimates for the major energy subsectors and three supply/demand scenarios. Energy subsectors addressed include oil and gas production and refining, coal, electric utilities (including nuclear generation), and the advanced technologies (solar, geothermal, wind, and synthetics). The three economic scenarios that form the basis for the work are: (1) the Reference Scenario (110), which specifies mid-range resource supply and mid-range demand for energy (TREND-LONG); (2) the High Scenario (220), which specifies high supply and high demand (CEASPIRIT); and (3) the Low Scenario (330), which assumes low resources and demand (CYCLELONG).
