Consumer End-Use Energy Efficiency and Rebound Effects
Energy efficiency policies are pursued as a way to provide affordable and sustainable energy services. Efficiency measures that reduce energy service costs will free up resources that can be spent in the form of increased consumption—either of that same good or service or of other goods and services that require energy (and that have associated emissions). This is called the rebound effect. The...
متن کاملEnergy End-Use Efficiency
Increasing energy end-use efficiency—technologically providing more desired service per unit of delivered energy consumed—is generally the largest, least expensive, most benign, most quickly deployable, least visible, least understood, and most neglected way to provide energy services. The 46% drop in U.S. energy intensity (primary energy consumption per dollar of real GDP) during 1975–2005 rep...
متن کاملComparing the magnitude of simulated residential rebound effects from electric end-use efficiency across the US
Many US states rely on energy efficiency goals as a strategy to reduce CO2e emissions and air pollution, to minimize investments in new power plants, and to create jobs. For those energy efficiency interventions that are cost-effective, i.e., saving money and reducing energy, consumers may increase their use of energy services, or re-spend cost savings on other carbonand energy-intensive goods ...
متن کاملGeneral Equilibrium Rebound from Improved Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency improvements “rebound” when economic responses undercut their direct energy savings. I develop an analytic general equilibrium framework that allows improvements in energy efficiency to affect output prices and factor prices. I show that general equilibrium channels typically amplify rebound and make it more likely that improvements in efficiency end up increasing total energy...
متن کاملGeneral Equilibrium Rebound from Energy Efficiency Policies ∗
I study the general equilibrium implications of large-scale policies to improve energy efficiency, which are being implemented around the world to mitigate climate change. Energy efficiency policies “rebound” when economic responses undercut their direct energy savings. I develop an analytic general equilibrium framework that allows improvements in energy efficiency to affect output prices and ...
