Electricity in the world today
Assumptions
The actual capacities of different type
of power plants in year 2005 are used
Hyphothetical situation where all
plants would be in a single system
The plants would operate in merit
order by variable costs
The lowest variable cost plants
operate on the base load and highest
cost plants in the peak load

Forecast of electricity consumption
in the year 2050, Methods
Collect the actual consumption figures
from last ten years from different parts
of the world
Calculate the trend of consumption
using linear fit of actual figures
Estimate the consumtion in the year
2050 using the trend
