This report presents the results of a six-month data collection and analysis effort to provide detailed cost analysis (both current and projections) of electricity generation by all types of conventional thermal plants in the principal OECD countries; to characterize current and projected annual load conditions in the principal OECD countries; and to characterize fossil-fuel utilization, calorific values, and resulting electrical generation for all OECD countries. The seven major energy-consuming countries identified in this analysis are Canada, Japan, United Kingdom, West Germany, Italy, France, and the United States. The results of all analyses are provided in the subsequent sections of this report under the following headings: Fuel Consumption Data; Existing and Projected Costs of Electricity Generation--1975, 1980, 1985, 1990; and Load Characteristics of Principal OECD Countries.
