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 …

dynamic price signals. We find substantial wholesale energy cost savings for the retailer from declaring into events designed … strategy could significantly reduce the cost of increasing the share of greenhouse gas free wind and solar electricity … production in an electricity supply industry. …

In theory real time pricing ensures more efficient electricity markets than time of use pricing. However, people are …

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 …

Commercial and residential buildings are responsible for 42 percent of all U.S. energy consumption and 41 percent of U ….S. CO2 emissions. Engineering studies identify several investments in new energy-efficiency equipment or building retrofits … that would more than pay for themselves in terms of lower future energy costs, but homeowners and businesses generally do …

For decades, economists and energy policy analysts have noticed the existence of an "energy efficiency gap" – a … significant underinvestment in energy efficiency measures whose benefits outweigh their costs – among residential consumers …. Promoting energy efficiency is generally the most cost-effective manner to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to meet future …

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 …

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 …
