Enhanced methods for estimation of energy savings impacts

By comparing data from remote-read electricity meters in the Syd Energi supply area with personal and residential data from Statistics Denmark, the project tried to determine the savings effect of three different ''soft'' initiatives. Generally, energy suppliers find it difficult to document the effect of such ''soft'' initiatives. The analyses documented a significant effect of handing out AutoPowerOff plug banks to the consumers, resulting in average electricity savings of about 160 kWh/year/household. However, it proved more difficult to demonstrate an effect of schooling and informative electricity bills followed up by telephone interviews. (Energy 10)
