ELECTRICITY END-USE EFFICIENCY - EXPERIENCE WITH TECHNOLOGIES, MARKETS, AND POLICIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

There is a wealth of experience among industrialized countries with te chnologies and policies to increase electricity end-use efficiency. So me developing countries are beginning to adopt these technologies and policies as well. Technologies include efficient residual appliances, HVAC equipment, light, motors and efficient industrial processes. A sm all number of market failures that limit the acceptance of these effic ient technologies in both industrialized and developing countries are described. Experience with policies to overcome these failures and pro mote electricity end-use efficiency, including information programs, a ppliance efficiency standards, financial incentives to appliance manuf acturers, commercial building energy standards, integrated resource pl anning, and demand-side management, is reviewed.
