Energy Alternatives for California: The Current Crisis III. Allocation of Scarce Supplies,

Abstract

One of the primary concerns in an energy shortage is the allocation of scarce supplies among energy consumers. Distribution of energy supplies among different energy products and among four major sectors of the economy (residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation) are discussed. Allocation of supplies among individual consumers within a sector, focusing on the possibility of rationing or curtailment of electricity to residential customers is covered.
