Yukon electricity conservation and demand management potential review (CPR 2011)

The 2009 Energy Strategy for the Yukon also recognizes this potential and notes the following efficiency and conservation priorities: Avoid the cost and environmental impact of building new generation Increase energy efficiency in Yukon by 20% by 2020 Reduce energy consumption in Yukon buildings Reduce energy consumption for transportation in Yukon Promote the use of energy-efficient pro [...] The potential contribution of CSRAE measures to electricity savings in the Residential and Commercial sectors used the same definitions of building types and end uses as used in the other study Analysis Areas and aggregated in the RSEEM (Residential Sector Energy End-use Model) and CSEEM (Commercial Sector Electricity End-use Model) models. [...] A summary of the potential levels of savings in purchased electric energy provided by the CSRAE technologies is presented below in Exhibit ES 3. By 2030, the potential reduction in purchased electricity from the use of CSRAE technologies were estimated to be approximately 18,030 MWh/yr. [...] Wherever possible, the assumptions used in this study are consistent with those used by YEC, YECL and the Government of Yukon and are based on best available information, which in many cases includes the professional judgment of the consultant team, client personnel and local experts. [...] Section 6 presents the Economic Potential Electricity Forecast for the CSRAE technologies over the study period 2010 to 2030 for the Residential and Commercial sectors.
