Abstract
In his talk, he will consider whether California energy policies implemented
in the mid1970s
influenced residential electricity consumption. Many
studies of these policies have been done over the years. These studies are
reviewed and a model of the state’s residential electricity consumption is
developed based on an early study supporting policy development. A
hindcast using this model suggests a 6 percent reduction in residential
electricity in the first 10 years of the policy over a modeled counterfactual
scenario without policy. In addition, a more complete assessment of causality which accounts for
uncontrolled, non-policy factors that can also lower electricity consumption suggests this policy had a
36% chance of being necessary and a 30% chance of being sufficient.
