Inventory of Energy Technologies for Least-Cost Energy Strategy

The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires the Secretary of Energy to prepare a least-cost energy plan a resource and technology inventory of the least-cost energy strategy. The inventory (1) provides a description of each current and anticipated primary energy input available to the U.S. economy, (2) describes the system for electricity generation and distribution, and (3) lists available and anticipated energy technologies that are sufficiently defined so as to permit measurement or estimation of their cost and effectiveness over the period from the present to the year 2015. This notice summarizes work in progress and invites public comment on the appropriate content for the energy resource and technology inventory. We are particularly interested in suggestions for expansion of the list of efficient end-use technologies expected to be available by the year 2010, and their cost and performance parameters.
