As part of the implementation of the REEESAP, SACREEE is strongly focusing on the development and implementation of a holistic regional energy efficiency program. The following Demand Side Management measures and Energy Efficiency Options in SADC have been identified and highlighted as critical:
- Awareness Raising – including implementation of energy efficiency labels and Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS).
- More Efficient Technologies – including lighting, industrial equipment, efficient cooking, etc.
- Fuel Switching – e.g. use of Liquid Petroleum Gas
- Load Management - including ripple control and time-of-use-tariffs
- Electricity grid losses mitigation - e.g. with pre-paid & smart metering
- Building codes
- Lighting
