Energy efficiency in former Soviet republics: opportunities for the West
by Lee Schipper, Eric Martinot
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 6, No. 3/4/5, 1994

Abstract: We review what former Soviet republics need to improve energy efficiency in both the short and long term. We examine the different ways in which western public and private authorities might accelerate these improvements. We envisage an enormous role for western organizations to aid these countries, while we caution about pitfalls and discuss the merits of different approaches. In particular, we caution against a narrow, 'enercentric' approach that focuses mainly on energy and the energy sector, arguing that the forces of economic reform should be harnessed to provide the main thrust for improving efficiency.
