Least-Cost Utility Planning Issues: Uncertainty and Indicators of Implementation.

摘要

In the context of future electricity capacity and the use of electricity conservation to help meet future demand, the purpose of this report is to determine: whether limitations to the implementation of DSM programs can be attributed to utility perceptions of the uncertainties and unreliability of these activities, and whether these uncertainties are greater than those on the supply end of the utility system; and where conservation activities can be expected to be implemented, given certain indicators related to DSM and LCUP. 14 refs., 9 figs., 2 tabs.
