Dear tir. Copeland:
~t Attach 5d find :
- lI (1) A listing of additional documents whic'a may be cited by TexPIFG in reference to certain contentions, per our informal discussion in December, 1979.
(2) A supplement response to your supplemental request regarding conservation elasticities, per your December,'1979 letter to Ier.
Scott.

(Re:
Elasticity Co-efficients Associated with Conservation Content ion).
In general, TexPIRG assumes a co-efficient of the elasti it of demand to be between -1.0 and -1.33 for comme c
y a,
ential users.
-These figures come from the article " National Demand fo Nuclear Power" in the Spring,1976 Bel 1 Journal of E conomics; the co-efficient expressed therein includes the author's calculati i..
of 1.0 and substantiation from two ather studies cited on ere with calculations up to 1.33.
That same article points to a co-efficient of elasticity for industrial demand 'in excess of -2 0 T
., where the demand is limited to a specific geographical rrea 5
TexPIRG assumes these elasticity indicators are open to great change; primarily, i.e,,
increased appliance efficiency increases the elasticit increased knowledge of conservation potential on th y, as does e part of the
~
ratepayer, increased cultural acceptance of a "conservati and increases in technical efficiency of conservation te h on ethic,"
c nology.
Furthermore, the elasticity is not uniform throughout th e c1' asses.
For instance, TexPIRG assumes that an inelastic "b
^
ase" level of electricity consumption exists for residential rattpayers elasticities generally increase as income increases
, and that Elasticity co-efficients are necessary in calculating th of market-induced conservation behavior.
e effects However, TexPIRG believes much conservation capital expenditure can be induced thr' ough legal requirements, and in that case the elasticity calculati i
I on is not necessary.
