There is significant energy efficiency potential in the appliances and equipment sector. For example, adoption of current policy best practices for product energy efficiency standards could lead to annual electricity savings in 2030 equal to the energy generated by 650 mid-sized power plans. IPEEC’s work in this sector focuses on how government and non-government actors can:
Increase the market availability of efficient appliances, electric equipment and lighting;
Improve how devices consume energy (e.g. through smart metering);
Increase the information available to consumers (e.g. through standards and labelling
programmes); and Phase out energy-intensive equipment.
