The rise in welfare depends more on energy efficiency improvements than on growth in energy use!

The best way to satisfy a growing need for energy services System capacity Demand + 1 kWh B A - 1 kWh Should be the cheaper of the two options: More supply or less demand Time

Energy Efficiency is the cheapest resource Negative Costs!
The curse of the Energy Efficiency • Energy Efficiency is invisible • Energy Efficiency is not a Product, but a characteristic (with products in comparison) • Energy Efficiency is delivered in many small packages • …..and on different occasions
But there are several means LARGE-SCALE ENERGY EFFICIENCY “Mandating” Market Acceptance “Commoditise” for Non Price- responsive Delegated Price- responsive customers Standards e.g. MEPS; Top-runner; Energy Star Agreed actions e.g. ESCO; Labels, Branding e.g. Taxes; DR (elasticity) e.g. Voluntary Agreements; Technology Procurements Actions Commitments e.g. Muni- cipalities Planning; FEMP e.g. White Certificates

Thank you!
1. The learning investments have to be covered and recovered • Learning investments are not subsidies IF they can be anticipated to yield future profit • Someone has to start the process • It takes TIME to reach break even • The investments might be HUGE Challenging New Technology Price A Learning investments …and ditto profit B C Cumulative Sales
4. There is always someone to share the bill • (I) Government and companies that have a “first-mover” interest • (II) Private sector (users) who have a worse alternative • (III) Private sector (users) who have an interest in showing leadership Challenging New Technology Price I Willingness to pay on niche markets II III Cumulative Sales
