The Department of Energy is still crafting the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act signed into law last April.
Meanwhile, PE2 is also promoting energy efficiency as a new infrastructure asset class in the energy market, and proposed that the government should slowly move toward incorporating it as a mainstreamed resource in planning its energy mix.
Fundamental to the success of Arizona's Energy Efficiency Standard have been the setting of aspirationalyet rational requirements; incorporating annual benchmarks and establishing accountability measures such as implementation plans.
As the Corporation Commission deliberates its next steps on energy efficiency, here are a few considerations commissioners should keep in mind:
* There are insufficient evaluation data to demonstrate that energy efficiency programs are cost-effective.
Immediately following the appearance of that article, and in the quarter-century since, energy efficiency program supporters have responded to those arguments.
A great number of studies were carried out to estimate technical and profit efficiency of rice farming in many countries around the world including Vietnam (Hien et al., 2003; Huy, 2009; Dang, 2012; Khai and Yabe, 2011; Linh, 2012; Tung, 2013; Tu and Yabe, 2015).
Studies on cost efficiency were conducted in many countries and on varieties of crops such as rice (Coelli et al., 2002; Dhungana et al., 2004; Thanh Nguyen et al., 2012; Thath, 2014; Egbodion and Ahmadu, 2015; Tu and Trang, 2016), maize (Ogundari et al., 2006; Dia et al., 2010; Paudel and Matsuoka, 2009), coffee (Rios and Shively, 2005), raisin (Bayramoglu and Gundogmus, 2008), and dairy farms (Jiang and Sharp, 2014).
It has been found that the average technical
efficiency scores for non-exporting firms is slightly greater than the exporting firms.
The amendments to the law on energy
efficiency of buildings are proposed to ensure execution of the law to full extent.
The fund seeks to increase the pace and volume of financing for energy
efficiency, renewable energy, demand response and alternatively fueled vehicle projects.
A report by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) reveals production

In Implementation Plan for Recent Priorities of the Health Care System Reformissued by the Chinese government in 2009, improving hospital
efficiency was included in one of the reform priorities, "promoting public hospital reform."[sup][2] Public hospital
efficiency not only reveals its own ability to transform inputs into outputs, but also concerns the overall structure of health care system reform in the new era in China.[sup][3] Therefore, rational evaluation of public hospital
efficiency and improvement of resource
efficiency has become common concerns to the Chinese government, public hospitals, and society.
This study incorporates data envelopment analysis in order to obtain the technical
efficiency scores of Pakistan rural and urban education.
