Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in the demand for electricity, specifically in the industrial sector in Pennsylvania, identify the mechanisms of change and characterize their respective roles in reducing electric growth.;A flexible functional form model (translog) is developed and estimated for five major industries, namely, paper, refining, glass and clay, primary and fabricated metals, and from this, own and substitution elasticities are estimated. The model also provides estimates of technological change which give an indication of the undergoing structural changes that have taken place in the above industries through the years.
