dc.description.abstractEnergy efficiency will help South Africa meet some of its socioeconomic goals whilst protecting the environment and using resources effectively. In light of the recent blackouts, South Africa has stepped up its energy efficiency initiatives in order to delay the need for new generation capacity, but human behavioural responses often tend to offset the beneficial effects of such initiatives. Such behavioural changes are called the rebound effects. Energy modelling using LEAP was carried out for the South African residential electricity sector. The results from the LEAP modelling suggest that reducing residential electricity demand by 10% in 2030 will require high penetration rates of efficient appliances and in order to mitigate the rebound effect, efficiency initiatives should be carried out in conjunction with awareness campaigns and price interventions.en_ZA
