By examining the actual performance of conservation or demand-side management (DSM) programs for ten utilities, Joskow and Marron (1992) have made an important contribution to policy discussions about the wisdom of relying on utilities to improve customer energy efficiency. We use Joskow and Marron's method to analyze twenty utility commercial lighting programs and, like Joskow and Marron, find wide variations in industry reporting practices and savings evaluation methods. We extend the method by systematically accounting for several of the most important sources of variation and comment on how they influence total program costs. Our accounting also allows us to relate remaining program cost variations to the program sizes and the electric supply costs avoided by the programs. We draw qualified, yet affirmative, conclusions regarding the cost effectiveness of the programs.

The International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE), founded in 1977, is a worldwide non-profit professional organization with members in over 100 nations. The organization provides an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas, experience and issues among professionals interested in energy economics. IAEE publishes three periodicals. The Energy Journal is a quarterly, academic publication; Economics of Energy & Environmental Policy is a semi annual publication; the IAEE Energy Forum (newsletter) delivers the latest information on the association, and contains articles that appeal to a general audience interested in the energy field. The association holds an International Energy Conference each year. Past meetings have taken place in cities such as Rome, Quebec, New Delhi, Budapest, Washington D.C. and Copenhagen. These conferences attract delegates and speakers from around the world, and from some of the most influential government, corporate and academic circles. Membership in IAEE is open to anyone who has an interest in the field of energy economics.
