IntroductionIntroduction Current Electricity Demand estimated at over 15,000MW

(Peak), 10,000 MW during off peak.

Power Generation: 1,500MW 3,000MW.

Deficit 8,500-12,000 MW necessitating load shedding

Interruptions in Gas Supply and Fluctuations in Water

levels, etcis blamed for this.

Electricity demand is increasing at about 7% annually.

Energy efficiency is one of the interventions that couldreduce power demand without reducing services.

Energy Efficiency ?????????Energy Efficiency ????????? Energy Efficiency is as old as energy

use itself. Fires were open to sun andlatter improved to enclosed spaces andthen later replaced by ovens, etc.

Energy Efficiency is reducing energyrequirements per unit of output,thereby, reducing total costs ofproducing the output.

It is a process that is aimed at: Minimizing energy use/costs/ waste

without affecting production & quality Minimizing environmental effects.

Efficiency = OutputInput

Drivers of Energy EfficiencyDrivers of Energy Efficiency

Energy pricing has been the key stimulant of energy efficiency.

The oil price increases of 1973 74 and 1979 80 stimulatedinterest in energy efficiency and conservation;

Today, even if energy is cheap, energy efficiency and conservationis still very important, because of the realization that:

Most energy resources are depletable and increased energy efficiencyand conservation will elongate its lifespan;

With economic rowth and o ulation increase, we ma return to fuel

scarcity/shortage: increased energy efficiency and conservation willdelay and lessen the impact of such scarcity;

Energy saved = Energy generated; investments in energyconservation is cheaper than investment in building new power plants;

There is widespread public concern about environmental impacts of

energy production and use: energy efficiency generally reduces thoseimpacts;

Investment in energy efficiency and conservation can be undertaken insmaller increments than investment in energy supply

Energy Labeling: What Is It?Energy Labeling: What Is It? Lack of information is generally considered to be one of the

main barriers to improving energy efficiency.

Energy labeling, which involves providing information toconsumers on the energy efficiency performance of newappliances, is aimed at addressing this barrier.

Energy Efficiency labels are informative labels affixed tomanufactured products indicating a products energyperformance (usually in terms of energy use, efficiency and/orcost) to provide consumers with data necessary for making

The appliances that are commonly labeled include:refrigerators, freezers and air conditionals and a range ofother appliances such as electric cookers, boilers, lightingproducts and washing machine

Labelling programmes may differ from one country to theother, however, they have things in common.

Types of LabelsTypes of Labels

Energy labels generally fall into two main types:Endorsement and Comparative.

Endorsement labels point out to consumersthat products belong to the most energy

efficient class of products or meet apredetermined standard or eligibility criteria.This type of label merely informs theconsumer that the products meet certainrequired standard. US EPA Energy Star program

comparison labels - where key informationon energy consumption and/or performance isshown for comparative purposes. Additionalmeasures of energy efficiency (eg a star orefficiency rating) may also be shown. Thistype of system works best when it is

mandatory for all products to carry a label (sothat poor performers can be identified andreadily avoided by consumers).

Examples of this type of label can be found onappliances in Europe, etc..

Contents and Structure of LabelsContents and Structure of Labels What determine labels contents?

socio-economic, physical and cultural condition of the nation,

language, and,

literacy level.

Guiding Principles in designing labels:

comparison or endorsement or both?

-

emphasize either energy consumption or cost indicators? how is appliance performance handled?

what is the most trusted source of labels - authoritative

need for verification

updating of efficiency criteria to account for market changes

marketing the label - buyer awareness & response

retailer participation - sales training

manufacturer versus buyer acceptance of energy labeling.

BenefitsBenefits convey key information on energy consumption

and/or performance of appliances to a consumerto assist them in a taking purchase decision;

Long-term savings from avoided electricitybillings;

Improved competitiveness of local manufactures local manufacturers that upgrade the efficiency

multi-national companies;

It encourages standardization and promotesquality;

It creates awareness on the benefits of energyefficiency

Create job opportunities label production,

certification, enforcement, fixing, etc..

Poor Quality Assurance: The quality of EE appliances in the open market is very bad,discouraging patronage;

Lack of minimum energy performance standards by S. O. N;

Low level of public awareness on the benefits and huge saving potentials;

Initial Capital investment is very high, but life-cycle cost is low

Low energy tariffs especially electricity and poor electricity billing system and payment collectionfrom the customers particularly residential.

Hindrances to the Deployment of EE AppliancesHindrances to the Deployment of EE Appliances

Inadequate indigenous human capacity in the design and implementation of energy-efficient systems;

Low level of capacity for the local manufacturing of energy-efficient appliances, resultinginto limited supply and higher cost;

Inadequate fiscal and economic incentives to attract local and foreign investment inenergy efficiency;

Inadequate policy, regulation and institutional framework for the development andadoption of energy-efficient systems;


18/20

Way ForwardWay Forward Intensification of the nationwide sensitization and awareness creation programmes on the benefits of

EEC.

Creation and enforcement of enabling institutional and legislative framework for implementing EECProgrammes.

Intensification of the training of Energy experts (energy auditors, energy managers ).

Effective collaboration of all the government agencies that has a stake in EEC.

Establishment of EEC and Renewable Energy equipment /devices manufacturing plants in the country

Proper energy tariff , billing and payment collection systems

Enforcement of prepaid electric power meter on all categories of consumers

Mandatory energy audit for all larger energy consumers

Development and enforcement of National Programme for Phase by Phase Implementation ofretrofitting of inefficient appliances

The ECN through NCEEC in collaboration with relevant agencies (eg. NBTE) should establish regularshort course programme for energy auditors, energy managers

Encourage the setting up of Energy Service Companies (ESCOs)

Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and similar bodies should led the private sector participation inEEC penetration in the country

ConclusionsConclusions

Energy efficiency and conservation is the leastexpensive, lowest risk, and most effective means ofreducing energy consumption and over- dependence onfossil fuels, thereby reduce GHG emissions.

Energy efficiency and conservation strategies

development plans;

REMEMBER: Energy Saved = Energy Generated- a renewable energy source that would have beenotherwise wasted.
