摘要:For almost a decade, Ghana has experienced the application of technologies and policies intended to improve electricity end-use efficiency. The technologies included appliances, lighting, variable speed drivers and power factor correction while the policies comprised appliances standards and labels, mass adoption of electricity-saving lamps, financial and fiscal policies. A number of market failures hindered the penetration of these technologies and the study reviewed the extent to which these limitations prevented the success of these technologies. The role of institutions in influencing policy, prices, consumers and manufacturers or importers to improve the penetration of these technologies was regarded as important.
