The case studies focused on interactive efforts between utilities and non-utility parties but examined other, related BBAG efforts as well.

With the major increase in energy consumption this century, and the resulting impact on the environment, energy planning activities have taken on an ever more important role. This test studies the main challenges of energy supply and demand, describing the need for different methGds of enerb lanning de ending on whether plans are short-term, medium-term or Pang-term. Pt mcludes ’ the consideration of energy technologies of the future and how they will influence energy planning over the long-term. 95105514 Energy pollcles of IEA countries Inrernadonal Energy Agencies Report, Julie Dean, Mlcroinfo Ltd, PO Box 3, Omega Park Alron, Han& GU34 2PG, UK

According to one IPP, one reason for this is that some US utilities and their commissions are not honouring their agreements with IPPs - even if the IPP haa obtained a power purchase agreement. 95/05515 Francis, A.
