Flows of electrical energy in California in 1972 are analyzed by utility company and by California County and the use of electrical energy is specified by residential, commercial, industrial, and public sectors within each county. In addition, regression analyses were made comparing each of these categories of county electrical energy use to nine nonenergy characteristics of each county: county size, county population, total county employment, total county payroll, total county commercial employment, the percentage of occupied dwellings in the county representing separate living structures, the average number of occupants per occupied dwelling, county industrial employment, and total county heating and cooling degree days. The noneconomic categories of county size, percentage of houses in the county, and average number of occupants per dwelling exerted the greater influences on electrical demands in the final set of regression equations.
