This paper presents a series of electric demand and capacity forecasts. These indicate no serious regional imbalance through 1990, but a need for additional capacity by 2000. The effects of economic and physical obsolescence as well as small vs. large plants are also discussed. In any case, much of the deficit could be covered by "lease-cost" methods.
