Energy conservation and efficiency drives security

Demand savings from conservation and efficiency measures provided the greatest single contribution

(39%) to the replacement of nuclear generation capacity after Fukushima.

Efficiency improves short-term energy security

Without energy efficiency Germany’s N-1 indicator would be reduced to 128% and the United Kingdom

and France would not meet the standard

Energy consumers are making big savings

Efficiency gains since 2000 have helped households in major economies save 10 to 30% of their annual

home and travel energy costs

Efficiency delivers a global energy productivity bonus

The 2016 intensity improvement represents an additional USD 2.2 trillion of value created from global

energy use, equivalent to twice the size of the Australian economy.

The world’s efficiency policy coverage needs to expand

The amount of global energy use covered by mandatory efficiency policies grew in 2016.

But 68% of energy use remains uncovered.

From 2014 to now…

• Since 2014, hundreds of

evaluations conducted

• The multiple benefits of

energy efficiency are

real and measurable

• …but gaps remain.

© OECD/IEA 2017

Questions for consideration

1. Is the geographic scope of our evidence base wide enough? Do we

have enough evidence in countries whose energy consumption is

projected to grow?

2. How broad is the sectoral coverage of the existing evidence base?

3. How much do we know about the benefits of different efficient end

uses?

4. Is evidence targeting policy needs?

5. Are policies being designed with multiple benefits in mind?
