The National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) is a computer modeling system developed by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). The NEMS produces integrated forecasts for energy markets in the United States by achieving a general equilibrium solution for energy supply and demand. Currently, for each year during the period from 1990 through 2010, the NEMS describes energy supply, conversion, consumption, and pricing. It contains individual modules to represent specific fuel supply industries, conversion activities, and end-use consumption sectors. The NEMS provided energy forecasts for the Annual Energy Outlook 1994.2 It replaced the Intermediate Future Forecasting System (IFFS), which was used by EIA to produce the Annual Energy Outlook and other analyses from 1982 through 1993.
