Insurmountable opportunities? Canada's energy efficiency resources

Author

  • Robinson, John B.

Abstract

We review the potential for increased energy efficiency in Canada. Following discussion of the theoretical and conceptual basis for treating energy efficiency as a resource, the potential for increased efficiency is assessed in three categories: resource base (the maximum physical potential), ultimate recoverable resources (the maximum technical potential), and proven resources (cost-effective and technically available efficiency increases). The resulting estimates are compared with estimates from a companion paper, in which we assess energy-supply resources using the same set of categories. The policy implications of both sets of estimates are discussed.
