Abstract
This paper attempts an understanding of the use of stock electrical appliances in the city of Bogot´a D.C. We developed a methodology based on Colombia’s National Quality of Life (NQL) 2016, the methodology uses a questionnaire survey focused on information related to: type of residential building, appliances stock, socioeconomic status and income, among others. The proposed study explains the relationship between appliance stock and socioeconomic status, income, and type of household by using an econometric energy model. The results obtained have a potential application in energy planning strategies and policies, especially for lowest social status.
Highlights
In 1971 the total primary energy supply (TPES) in the world was of 5523 MToe, while in 2014 it increased by almost 2.5 times to 13,700 MToe (EIA, 2016), the total final consumption by sector did not dramatically change from 1971 to 2014
This paper described a methodology for evaluating the residential electrical Stock Appliances (SA) taking into account the socioeconomic status existing in Colombia
An econometric energy model was used to determine the elasticities between the SA, income, type of household, and socioeconomic status
Summary
In 1971 the total primary energy supply (TPES) in the world was of 5523 MToe, while in 2014 it increased by almost 2.5 times to 13,700 MToe (EIA, 2016), the total final consumption by sector did not dramatically change from 1971 to 2014. The consumption can be divided into: Industry (37%), transport sector (28%), residential sector (23%), commerce and public services (8%), agriculture (2%), and others (2%). 34.01 MToe, and estimated CO2 emissions of 72.50 Mt. The total consumption of electricity in 2015 corresponded to 53.13 TW2, while end use energy can be divided into: Residential (42%); industry (27%); commercial (21%) and others (10%) (Birol et al, 2015). The structure of the Colombian energy market is based on Laws 142 and 143 of 1994 (Valencia 2004), regulating public services and electricity, respectively. The Unit for Mining and Energy Planning (UPME) is the responsible for the study of future energy requirements and supply situations, while the regulatory commission for gas and energy (CREG) is in charge of regulating the market. The Colombian ministry of mines and energy has developed two main strategies for enhancing energy efficiency and conservation namely: Program of rational and efficient use of energy and unconventional sources - PROURE and the plan of indicative Action of energy efficiency 2017-2022
