This paper presents the assumptions and discusses some of the key issues that underlie the energy projections contained in the World Development Report 1981. It examines the adjustments which have taken place since the oil price increase in 19873 - 74 in the use of energy in five major country groups. Based on these trends in energy conservation and increased energy efficiency, as well as on assumptions about income levels and a 3 percent a year increase in real energy prices, the paper provodes energy projections by major fuels for these country groupings for the 1980s.
