Electricity Growth in the Future

The Energy Journal, 1985, vol. 6, issue 1, 23-44

Abstract: Electricity demand in the United States declined in 1974 after over twenty years of sustained growth. By 1976, the growth rate was back up to 5 percent, but since then it has eroded steadily, with demand in 1982 slightly less than in 1981. This paper provides a simple way to understand these trends in electricity demand and to project future developments.
