Abstract

Demand-side management for electricity consumption by the general public: energy-saving light bulb awareness and promotional campaign.

The primary objective of this campaign was to inform domestic consumers living in the Clermont-Ferrand area of the advantages of energy-saving light bulbs. These light bulbs last 8 to 10 times longer than conventional light bulbs, and consume 4 to 5 times less energy. There is, unfortunately, one drawback: price. Although on sale in the usual outlets (superstores, DIY centres) their retail price - around € 15 - is prohibitive.

This project is also one of 60 from the Penelope Project Good Practice Database listed on this website.
