The increasing use of demand-side management as a tool to reliably meet electricity demand at peak time has stimulated … the growing literature on models used to study demand, consumer baseline (CBL) and demand response in the electricity … case for possible application to the electricity market and discusses the implications of the results. In the literature …

Since the start of sharp electricity tariff increases in 2008, South African household demand for electricity has not … been significantly affected. However, the combination of economic realities and ongoing electricity tariff increases will … eventually compel households to reduce their electricity usage. This research explores the ability of South African households to …

computing, communication and data storage. In Ireland, the increasing presence and significant electricity demand of data … centres is a growing concern for electricity generation and grid infrastructure. It is anticipated that future technological … advances will drive efficiencies to help reduce energy demand. However, the specific technology and pattern of market adoption …

Residential buildings are responsible for approximately 20 percent of U.S. energy consumption, and single-family homes … alone account for about 16 percent. Older homes are less energy efficient than newer ones, and although many experts have … identified upgrades and improvements that can yield significant energy savings at relatively low, or even negative, cost, it has …

Information failures may help explain the so-called “energy efficiency gap” in commercial buildings, which account for … approximately 20 percent of annual US energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Building owners may not fully comprehend what influences … energy use in their buildings and may have difficulty credibly communicating building energy performance to prospective …

field for DG and conventional power generation. Due to the impact of DG on the electricity grid infrastructure, future … regulation should consider the costs and benefits of the integration of decentralized energy generation units. Without an … adequate consideration, the overall costs of the electricity generation system will be unnecessarily high. The present paper …

This article explores how law can use individual behavior to stabilize and reduce U.S. energy consumption. Drawing on … individual behavior to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption. More broadly, the options suggested by this … of addressing the seemingly intractable problem of individual choices that lead to greater and greater energy consumption …

apply a difference-in-differences approach and estimate energy savings to equal 0.8% of annual electricity consumption … original rationale for the policy, energy savings, is not supported by a large portion of recent empirical studies. Whether the … new permanent time will be standard time or the former daylight saving time has not been decided. Evidence on energy …
