Assessment of socioeconomic and demographic determinants of electrical energy and gas consumption in California. Volume I. An overview of key determinants: historic patterns
This volume is one of five covering an assessment of trends in California that are related to the demand for electricity and natural gas. The socio-economic and demographic determinants dealing with natural gas and electricity consumption are shown in Appendix A of this volume. The determinants are demographics (population, households, labor force); economic conditions (personal, business/industrial, governmental); urbanization and land use (housing, business/industrial, transportation); and lifestyles (education, mobility, leisure, and recreation). This volume treats each of the determinants selected, where historic data were available. It includes an overview of socio-economic and demographic conditions in the state over the last 25 years, along with a description of how conditions in California varied from those in the rest of the United States. A section also is included which describes briefly how these historic data could provide the basis for forecasts. In Chapter 2 each determinant is presented in terms of a plot showing its historic values, and projected values by various sources where such projections were available. Appendix B provides data on estimating statewide saturation levels of residential electric and gas space heating. Appendix C presents a complete bibliography of all material reviewed in performing this work, including some reports which were not summarized in Volume II as they were not sufficiently germane.
