Electric Energy Conservation and Production Project: Volume 1, Electricity Use Patterns

摘要

The report addresses two major issues: the heavy reliance on electricity by residents of the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana, and the opportunities for electricity production from wind energy resources on the Reservation. The findings of this report help provide a basis for comprehensive energy management planning on the Reservation, analyze the potential for minimizing electricity demand and maximizing the efficiency of electrical end-uses through appropriate conservation measures, assess the potential of wind energy resources located on the Reservation, and identify and assess the technical, financial, legal, institutional, and regulatory issues involved in wind energy development within the Blackfeet Reservation. This volume covers electricity use patterns. (ERA citation 12:022797)
