Abstract

ABSTRACT This study evaluates the productivity of energy efficiency (EE) measures taken at the regional level employing a set of non-parametric statistical methods. The first aspect is investigating the impact of various energy efficiency measures. A high proportion of the population lives in apartment buildings, with limited opportunities to manage their own energy efficiency. The second research aspect of this paper is the study of the effectiveness of various energy efficiency measures in the context of low energy prices. Our analysis indicates that only two tools exert a long-term positive effect on reducing the economy’s energy intensity for all regions. This is the use of combined heat sources in large cities and implementing ISO 50001 in large companies. These two energy efficiency measures work even under low energy prices, which do not sufficiently stimulate the introduction of innovative energy-saving technologies.

低能源价格条件下能源效率的提高:来自俄罗斯地区的证据

摘要:本研究采用一组非参数统计方法，评估了在区域层面采取的能效(EE)措施的生产率。第一个方面是调查各种能源效率措施的影响。很大一部分人住在公寓楼里，管理自己能源效率的机会有限。本文的第二个研究方面是研究低能源价格背景下各种能效措施的有效性。我们的分析表明，只有两种工具对降低所有地区经济的能源强度具有长期的积极影响。这是在大城市使用联合热源和在大公司实施ISO 50001。这两项提高能源效率的措施即使在能源价格较低的情况下也能发挥作用，而能源价格低并不能充分刺激创新节能技术的引进。
