Energy Conservation

Efforts Promoting More Efficient Electricity Use Gao ID: T-RCED-92-74 June 23, 1992

This testimony discusses (1) the likelihood that such programs will result in energy conservation; (2) impediments that must be overcome; and (3) Department of Energy (DOE) efforts to promote demand-side management and integrated resource planning, including efforts identified in DOE's National Energy Strategy.
