SHORT-TERM ENERGY OUTLOOK. VOLUME 1: PROJECTIONS

Projection series are given for each major energy source or fuel from the third quarter of 1980 through the third quarter of 1981. The base-case outlook for 1980 calls for a 1.8% decline in gross energy consumption from 1979 to 77.4 quadrillion Btu; consumption for the first three quarters of 1981 is projected to average 1.4% higher than for the same period in 1980. Individual sections cover macroeconomics and crude oil prices (recent developments and forecast assumptions), energy prices total petroleum, petroleum imports, motor gasoline, distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, natural gas, coal, electric power, total energy, and recent alternative forecasts. Currently, there are adequate or surplus supplies in all major sources. Barring significant cutbacks in foreign crude oil production or major changes in the inventory and operating policy of the U.S. energy industries, the domestic energy supply is seen as fully adequate for the 1980-1981 winter season.
