Model Documentation The following modules comprise the Short-Term Integrated Forecasting System
The Short-Term Energy Outlook Model has been significantly revised in the last year to include regional models for natural gas, electricity, motor gasoline, heating oil, and propane. Documentation for these models are currently being reviewed within EIA and by outside experts. If you are interested in draft copies of the regional models contact Tancred Lidderdale (Tancred.Lidderdale@eia.doe.gov).
