Enhanced policies for the improvement of electricity efficiencies

摘要: Energy-efficiency improvement is considered as an important option to limit greenhouse gas emissions. In this paper, the possibilities implement new policies improve efficiency of electricity end-use are explored. The following policy actions considered: • introduction a ‘1 W standard’ for standby power consumption appliances, • incremental standards large electric appliances, • design guidelines small appliances, • a technology-forcing standard lighting, • a motor-drive program, • a program directed at reduction use during empty-office hours, • actual energy performance requirements service-sector buildings. The implementation these programs will contribute substantially reaching emission targets in European Union (total estimated effect be 200–350 Mton CO2 year 2020). However, reach very substantial effort required, both terms ambition, force applied instruments, and efforts. case appliances, regulatory instruments may need wider application. And, order attain potential savings systems, comparable promote renewable justified necessary.
