6 Is this the best representation to use? What would this comparison look like if California had the same characteristics as the US as a whole? How much has demographics, climate, industry structure contributed to this picture? What role has policy played here? Is there empirical data out there that can help answer some of these questions? How can we best use the limited data that exists?

7 Identify multiple influencing factors that could cause reductions in observed electricity consumption Show that statistically significant effects are associated with these factors Use the limited empirical data available to arrive at first cut quantifications Compare this estimate with CEC model projections

8 Identify basic consuming unit: e.g. Households Identify an influencing factor: e.g. Income Obtain state and national level distributions : % of HH in different income groups Obtain national level data on the variation of electricity use as a function of the chosen factor: KWh/HH = f(income Group) Substitute CA household income for US household income, all else unchanged.

23 Context Motivation and objectives Methodology and sector details Results Concerns and next steps

24 Evidence to suggest a substantial role for policy (~23 percent of observed differences) Empirical evidence suggests that many factors influence electricity use. Can policy be made more innovative? Should energy efficiency policy have a broader ambit? Lifestyles may have a significant role to play Important to be aware of fuel mix differences and self generation differences (false economies?)

25 Context Motivation and objectives Methodology and sector details Results Conclusions

26 Endogeneity and dependence Difficult to correct without better data No data for states other than NY, TX, CA, FL Possible option: Multivariate model for household sector using 2005 RECS microdata Functional forms of dependence (Linearity not necessary) Better analysis of time periods before 2001 esp. for the industrial sector Spillover benefits ignored Extension of work From electricity to energy Include transport sector From California to the US From California to international Account for behavioral differences and the role of education and awareness programs.
