This second revision of the Electrotechnology Reference Guide has been developed to help utilities beller understand ths needs of their industrial customers that can best be served by the application of electrotechnologies. For the first time, this revision includes information characterizing energy use in the mining, agriculture, and municipal water and waste water treatment sectors. The underlying analyses within the Guide show that significant opportunities now exist for electrotechnology applications, specifically those associated with process heating and motor drives. The format of the Guide (i.e., industry analysis, electrotechnology analysis, and end-use applications analysis) represents a framework that utilities can use to assist their customers in improving efficiency, productivity and product quality. Projections of electricity consumption by electrotechnology for the years 2000 and 2010 are included to help utility planners estimate their impact on future operations. In addition, analyses of industrial natural gas consumption and gas end-use applications are included to assist utility competitive assessments. With this revision of the ERG, several assumptions and methodologies used in estimating 1980/1990 electric and energy use In the various non-manufacturing sectors have been modified to reflect more complete information now available.
