Abstract:
Starting from the conditions for a successful implementation of savingoptions a general framework has been developed to investigate possible
interactions in sets of energy policy measures. Interaction regards
the influence of one measure on the saving effect of another measure.
A procedure is presented to construct a matrix for all combinations
of measures, with each cell containing qualitative information on the
strength and type of interaction: overlapping, reinforcing or independent
of each other. For policy measures, aimed at households in the Netherlands,
a detailed analysis has been executed for the period 1990-2003. The
method has also been applied to households in the other EU-15 countries,
as part of the Odyssee/MURE-project on energy indicators and policy
evaluation. The type and strength of interactions, found for each country
from 1990 on, have been compared and analysed. From the substantial
differences in the choice of policy measures indications of the effectiveness of saving policy follow. Also a relation between the number of policy measures and the amount of overlap between different policy measures could be seen.
