<br />~ <br /> <br />Trade Sectors - The trade sectors of the UCRB Optimization Model are: <br /> <br />Wholesale Trade. Service Stations and All Other Retail Trade. <br /> <br />Like the <br /> <br />manufacturing sectors. the final demands fo" the t"ade sectors were estimated <br /> <br />from interpolation between "new" 1970 and 1980 final demand estimates and <br />o <br />published 197i"'and 1980 final demand estimates. Also. as in the manufacturing <br /> <br />ac tivi ties. the later al ternative was chosen when the two approaches yie 1ded <br /> <br />very different results. <br /> <br />Utilities - The utilities sectors are: Local Electricity Production and <br /> <br />Distribution. Coal-Fired Steam Electric Production for Export and All Other <br /> <br />Utilities. <br /> <br />The Local Electricity Production and Distribution sector includes <br /> <br />all production and distribution of electricity for local use. <br /> <br />As such, it <br /> <br />includes several types of electric production technologies (including oil and <br /> <br />gas-fired steam turbines). purchases from the hydroelectric facilities of the <br /> <br />federal government. and the distribution of electricity to the Basin's <br /> <br />e 1ec tric ity consumers. <br /> <br />This sector and the All Other Utilities sector are <br /> <br />regarded in this report as "driven" by the electric and utility require"lents <br /> <br />of the Basin. <br /> <br />As such. final demands. as estimated by interpolation from <br /> <br />model generated final demands. were relatively small. <br /> <br />The other utility sector. Coal-Fired Steam Electric Production for <br /> <br />Export, is a relative newcomer to the regional economies. This sector is made <br /> <br />up of large coal-fired facilities. financed primarily by utilities from <br /> <br />outside the region and producing the vast bulk of its electricity for export. <br /> <br />The final demand for this sector is also the !GO of the sector. and both were <br /> <br />estimated for 1975 from a Federal Power Commission (FPC) report on capacity <br /> <br />and output by plant. <br />
