The plan would give residual oil to space heating users and reduce indoor temperatures by six to ten degrees for some. Electric utilities would receive oil based on a Federal Energy Office equitable cutback computation. Industrial users would get as much residual oil as in 1973, while petrochemical plants could receive up to 20 percent more than 1972 levels.
