- CYCLE COST ANALYSIS RESULTS USING

ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH SCEN ARIOS

8- I.1 INTRODUCTION

This appendix presents LCC results using energy price forecasts from alternative

economic growth scenarios. The scenarios are based on the High Economic Growth case and the

Low Economic Growth case fr om the May 2010 release of the AEO20 10

. 1 

### To estimate energy

prices after 2035 in the high and low scenarios, DOE used the growth rate between 2020 and

2035.

The forecasts in these cases are shown in Appendix 10- B. Energy prices are higher in the

High Economic Growth case and lower in the Low Economic Growth case . The energy price

forecasts affect the energy savings at different efficiency levels.
