  title = {SOUTH AFRICA: FRAMEWORK FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY DEMAND SIDE MANAGEMENT},
  abstract = {<p>EEDSM as an energy resource is underutilised in South Africa and has the potential to meet multiple short- and long-term national objectives. To maximise the energy savings available from EE, the identified market barriers must be addressed through a cohesive approach by The South Africa Department of Mineral Resource and Energy (DMRE) that incorporates policy, regulations, market incentives, and public information / awareness. This study{\textquoteright}s analysis will help senior policy developers decide how best to revive the existing initiatives, including the post-2015 NEES, to achieve EE goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner. South Africa has access to an entire toolbox of approaches for increasing EE throughout the country, and applying some of these approaches would lower utilities{\textquoteright} required investment in infrastructure and fossil energy sources, contribute to climate goals and further the country{\textquoteright}s desire for a just and efficient energy future for all.</p>},
