| Abstract | This study was performed in order to determine the
electricity conservation potential in the household sector of
Pakistan. Electricity consumed by lighting contributes 50-60% of
total electricity consumption in the household sector. About 83%
of total lighting load in this sector is incandescent. Therefore,
u sin g more efficient lighting technology was considered a major
area where electricity could be saved. Another area given major
consideration was the elimination of electrical losses in
substandard electrical equipment such as fans, cables, ballasts
and to her small accessories made by small manufactures. It was
necessary to consider this equipment because 25-40% of equipment
sold in the market in Pakistan is substandard. The effect of
WAPDA 's current electricity conservation campaign was also
assessed. Cost-benefit analysis was performed using Lotus 123 to
check the cost-effectiveness of lighting technologies both at
consumer and national levels, and payback periods were calculated
for other elements of the study. |
