This discussion paper raises some of the key considerations on whether energy efficiency is relevant and how projects supported by the ACP-EU Energy Facility have mainstreamed energy efficiency.
This paper addresses the complex discussion around energy efficiency for the poor, addressing:
- How and why energy efficiency is relevant
- What energy use patterns are for low income households and the activities they are undertaking
- The experiences of the ACP-EU Energy Facility projects in implementing energy efficiency measures
- The opportunities for the promotion of energy efficiency for rural end users.
