Potential problems and limitations of energy conservation and energy efficiency

Croucher Matt

Energy Policy, 2011, vol. 39, issue 10, 5795-5799

Abstract: We discuss that whilst energy conservation and energy efficiency both ultimately have the same goal they attempt to achieve this via very different approaches. We then discuss how both options face significant barriers to ultimately successfully reduce electricity consumption.
