While every household needs a home and its heating, lighting and appliances, increasing incomes have historically led to significantly higher appliance ownership, higher expectations of levels of energy service and greater usage. In the past this trend was combined with increasing household numbers to drive growth in domestic electricity demand. Official projections for population growth and household composition indicate significant drivers for future growth in energy demand. Curbing this will require policies to reverse the tendency for energy–efficiency improvements to be overwhelmed by growing numbers of households, more widespread appliance ownership and increased service expectations. 12 Energy Policy 36 ARTICULO Roberts, Simon 40598 169361 169361 0 0 0 0 237180 BAAB BAAB 2026-03-05 200044160 0 200044160 2026-03-05 15:11:33 2026-03-05 ARTICULO
