The Market Value of Energy Efficiency in Buildings and the Mode of Tenure
Kholodilin, Konstantin A.; Michelsen, Claus - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2014
Concerns about global warming and growing scarcity of fossile fuels require substantial changes in energy consumption patterns and energy systems, as targeted by many countries around the world. One key element to achieve such transformation is to increase energy efficiency of the housing stock....

A methodology to estimate security of supply in electricity generation: results for Germany until 2030 given a high level of intermittent electricity feed-in
Paulus, Moritz; Grave, Katharina; Lindenberger, Dietmar - Energiewirtschaftliches Institut (EWI), Universität zu … - 2011
In this paper, we develop a methodology for deriving a consistent measure for supply adequacy in the power generation sector. We especially consider the secured generation capacity of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind. <p> Availability of conventional power plants is estimated...</p>

Estimating the value of additional wind and transmission capacity in the rocky mountain west
Godby, Robert; Torell, Gregory L.; Coupal, Roger - In: Resource and Energy Economics 36 (2014) 1, pp. 22-48
The expansion of wind-generation in the United States poses significant challenges to policy-makers, particularly because wind's intermittency and unpredictability can exacerbate problems of congestion on a transmission-constrained grid. Understanding these issues is necessary if optimal...

Household transitions to energy efficient lighting
Mills, Bradford; Schleich, Joachim - In: Energy Economics 46 (2014) C, pp. 151-160
New energy efficient lighting technologies can significantly reduce household electricity consumption, but adoption has been slow. A unique dataset of German households is used in this paper to examine the factors associated with the replacement of old incandescent lamps (ILs) with new energy...
