Enigin News - Chile's Energy Demand Dented by Energy Efficiency

CHILEAN ministry officials have announced energy efficiency measures could cover 20% of Chile's projected demand growth by 2020.

"If Chile meets its growth targets, we will need to double the amount of energy generated," the spokesperson said from Washington, DC. "If all goes well, energy efficiency should cover for 20% of the increase in energy demand."

Chilean energy ministry officials received an award from Alliance to Save Energy at the Energy Efficiency Global Forum and Exposition (EE Global) in Washington, USA, stating:

"It is an honour to receive the EE Visionary Award," deputy energy minister Bronfman said in a statement recognizing the award." This constitutes an important recognition of Chile's achievements in increasing energy efficiency, a key element in our long-term strategy for a better use of our energy resources."

Energy efficiency initiatives in Chile include the establishment of an energy efficiency information labelling program, South America's first residential energy efficiency building code, the development of a national strategy for energy efficiency, and the development of an autonomous energy efficiency agency to guide implementation.
