Abstract

Lighting is one of the major uses of electricity. State-of-the-art lighting systems can increase efficiency and reduce energy demand, but substantial market barriers hamper market penetration. In recognition of these market realities, electric utilities and government agencies in several IEA-member countries have begun to focus their efforts on demand-side oriented activities, such as light bulb give-aways, audits, education, standards promulgation, and other programmes. For example, in the U.S. the shipment of compact fluorescent lamps almost doubled between 1988 and 1990 and is forecast to increase by about 280% between 1991 and 1995. We project that annual utility spending on incentives for efficient lighting will grow to ~$300 to 800 million by 1994. These campaigns can also result in temporary supply short-ages, which can in turn impede successful implementation of the programmes. Efforts to address the problem must begin by enhancing cooperation and information exchange among utilities, manufacturers, and customers.
