“…Slingerland and Jong (1998) focused on the kind of regulatory body that will provide incentives for demand management and reduction in electricity consumption. The study concluded that a quantity-based tariff system and the entwined interests of organisations are the key impediments for an effective demand management in the electricity sector.…”

Multicriteria decision making in electricity demand management: the case of Kuwait

Electricity demand in Kuwait has substantially increased over the years and this increase is attributed to population growth, increase in the number of buildings, and the extensive use of air-conditioning system during the very hot weather in the summer. The amount of electrical energy generated reached 48 444 308 megawatt hour (MWH) in 2007. Such growth calls for extensive investment in the continuous expansion of the existing power plants and constructing new ones. To rationalise the consumption of electricity, several conservation policies have to be implemented. In this work, we have attempted to diagnose such problem and solicit expert opinions in order to provide the proper remedies. Because the problem comprises several criteria that are subjective in nature, multicriteria decision-making approaches were suggested. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used as a decision tool to assess the different policies that could be used to bring about electricity conservation.

“…Another charging system for household waste would have a greater chance of bringing about change (Slingerland & de Jong 1998). The collection rates for industrial waste in Denmark and the Netherlands are established in competition between collectors.…”

This paper examines some major institutional factors determining the possibilities for successful waste reduction policies. In a multiple case study, four geographically defined cases of markets for municipal solid waste are compared on four core elements in the sector structure. It shows that the structure is shaping institutional capacity for achieving waste reduction. This capacity is determined mainly by combined structural elements. Privatisation, for example, should definitely not be seen as the only effective solution. Only under very specific conditions (unbundling and separation of functions) can privatisation have positive results. On the other hand, when authorities act as regulators, they should not have interests in waste collection and disposal. They should stick to either regulation, collection or disposal.
