[en] Forecasts of the future price and availability of fossil fuels in the UK are presented. Firstly the assumptions and methodology used in constructing three world energy cases for 1980-2030 are outlined. Three world fossil fuel price projections are then derived. The assessment of the prospects for UK fossil fuel supply is discussed and a detailed analysis of the coal industry is made. Fossil fuel prices to the CEGB and final customers in the UK are estimated for each of the five UK economic scenarios. Finally a comparison is made between CEGB projections and other studies. (U.K.)
