Projected natural gas curtailments and potential needs for additional alternate fuels: 1976--1977 heating season
The purpose of this analytical effort was to predict the impact of curtailments of natural gas at the end-user level during the 1976 to 1977 heating season. Impact is reflected not in the amount of curtailments but rather in the availability of alternate fuels or emergency gas volumes which can be substituted for natural gas in the event of a shortage. Data were provided on an actual basis (by month) for the 12-month period April 1, 1975 to March 31, 1976, and projected data were requested for the period April 1, 1976 to March 31, 1977. The monthly data enabled the determination of additional gas curtailments projected for the 1976-1977 heating season (November, 76-March, 77). This report discusses all regions of the United States and presents data on each State and the District of Columbia. All projections and findings in this report related to deliveries, curtailments, and needs for alternate fuels during the 1976-1977 winter are based on assumptions of normal winter weather conditions. These projections of normal winter weather are made by each gas company for the geographical areas where gas service is provided to its end-use customers.
