Abstract:

  • End‐use electricity efficiency improvements offer an inexpensive way to reduce power shortages.
  • Estimated energy savings are 8767GWh over 10 years and peak savings are 1814MW, large enough to eliminate one‐fourth of Gujarat state's power shortages.
  • CO2 emissions savings are 7715Giga grams over 10 years.
  • Unit cost of conserved energy is up to 50% of that of production.
  • It would be cost effective for utilities to bear full incremental capital cost of replacing inefficient energy devices.
