Voraussichtliche Entwicklung des Energieverbrauchs in den Planungsregionen Hessens bis 1985

Abstract

This foregoing study concerns itself with regional trends in energy consumption in Hesse and its five planning districts through the year 1985. It consists of two sections, one on the determination of final demand, and a second analyzing the production sector and calculating primary energy consumption Total final demand in Hese will increase from 19.1 million metric tons SKE in the year 1971 to about 39 million metric tons SKE by 1985, growing by an average annual rate of 5.2 per cent. Final demand will continue to decrease its reliance on solid fuels. The use of petroleum products will continue to dominate. Consumption of natural gas and electricity will riseat about average rates. The role of nuclear energy in electricity production can be expected to expand significantly through 1985. Presumably, nuclear power plants will account for 52 per cent of the Hessian gross electrical output by 1985. Primary energy consumption will probably increase from 24.6 to 50.6 million metric tonsSKE in the1971-1985 period, at an average annual growth rate of 5.2 per cent. Solid fuels' share will have shrunk to 2.1 per cent by 1985, while the importance of natural gas and nuclear energy will have increased further.
