| Abstract: | Large new potentials for economically rational electricity use are developed by new technologies, such as microprocessor-based control techniques for electric motors and many kinds of industrial electric processes, new materials with better tribological properties and new systems of electric lighting. In practice, however, many obstacles and market imperfections prevent profitable electricity-saving potentials from being fully realized. Efficiency improvements are mostly group specific and have to be matched with a suitable mix of energy policy instruments. The obstacles and cost-effective measures are described for private households, small and medium-sized companies, and small communities. |
