Assessing the combined effect of the diffusion of solar rooftop generation, energy conservation and efficient appliances in households

摘要: Abstract There is a growing worldwide concern regarding emissions of energy-related greenhouse gases (GHGs). Policy, technology and human awareness provide opportunities for offsetting these effects through energy conservation, efficient appliances solar generation in households as have been the subject increasing attention across world recent years. Solar rooftop generation, particular, could deliver significant efficiency improvements reductions CO2 its diffusion, which also avoids losses electricity transmission distribution systems; contributes to achievement sustainable future because it reduces energy-infrastructure needs, increases competitiveness improves consumer welfare; conservation would reduce households. The purpose this paper assess combined effect diffusion residential sector Colombia. Simulation results different policy scenarios indicate that can together lead, under certain conditions, important both prices emissions.
