Electricity Demand (Hansard, 27 February 1981)

§ Mr. Alexander Fletcher

The weather-corrected maximum demand on the Scottish system in 1979-80 was 6127MW. Over the subsequent decade the Scottish electricity boards' latest load forecasts envisage an average annual growth of maximum demand of just over 1.5 per cent. per annum with lower increases in the early years and higher later in the period. For longer term planning purposes the boards estimate that on average the latter tendency will continue.

The boards review their load forecasts annually in the light of the prospects for economic activity and other factors such as the price of competing fuels. There is no simple relationship between economic activity and electricity demand.
