Abstract: Michigan Consolidated Gas Company is a natural gas distribution utility serving about one half of the State of Michigan including the city of Detroit. Of sales of 443.8 Bcf in 1978. 171.0 Bcf were to residential customers, 117.4 Bcf to commercial customers and 155.4 Bcf to industrial customers. As in most northern areas of the country (6,OOO to 9,OOO DDD per year) conservation in all market sectors has caused decreases in gas consumption per customer. Michigan Consolidated has, however, been in an advantageous supply position being able to offset the effects of conservation by the addition of new customers. In order to understand the past and potential effects of conservation on Michigan Consolidateds markets, we have been monitoring detailed consumption factors since 1975, and have analyzed historical billing and send-out records back to 1973. Since that year was prior to the oil embargo and the last year before major conservation effects were observed, we have selected 1973 as the base year to which all current levels of consumption are compared.
