부산시 에너지마일리지제 시범운영을 통한 가정용 전력 소비절감 효과분석

To promote citizen's involvement in the GHG(Green House Gas) reduction policy, Busan city administration adopted an pilot energy incentive system called 'energy mileage'. The energy mileage system was designed to make energy end-users motivated to reduce domestic electricity use by providing financial rewards. Through the course of the pilot period, 5,3330 householders volunteerly participated the pilot system. About 66% of the participants managed to make energy saving against the same period of the previous year while 38.8% achieved the targeted reduction rate(i.e. over 10%) and received the equivalent rewards.
