Abstract This paper discusses different approaches to incorporating technological progress in energy-economy models and the effect on long-term energy demand projections. Approaches to modelling based on an exogenous annual change of energy efficiency to an endogenous explanation of innovation for energy technologies are covered. Technological progress is an important issue for modelling long-term energy demand and is often characterised as the main contributor to the different energy demand forecasts from different models. New economic theoretical developments in the fields of endogenous growth and industrial organisation have important implications for the attempts to endogenise technological innovation and diffusion of new energy technologies. A range of analytical and empirical models with different descriptions of technological progress is surveyed in the paper. To analyse the importance of the technology description, two models of residential energy demand in Denmark are compared. A Danish macroeconometric model is compared to a technological vintage model that is covering electric appliances and residential heating demand. The energy demand projection of the two models diverges, and the underlying assumptions regarding technological progress must be made comparable in order to demonstrate whether or not these assumptions are the reason. Assumptions about energy efficiency improvement in the vintage models are found to be important for the projection. The vintage modelling approach is found to be less important for long-term projections. A limitation of the vintage modelling approach applied in the long term explains some of the differences in projections among the two types of models. The applied vintage model of electric appliances does not adequately describe the category of new energy-consuming appliances that are expected to become available in the long term. If it is to be used for long-term projections this category must be more carefully modelled.

Energy is a commodity used worldwide, representing a vital input for social and economic development. Due to continuous growth, energy demand has increased. Solutions have been proposed in order to satisfy the increase in demand, often implying the increase of capacity of the power mix. Meanwhile, current issues concerning climate change and fossil fuels depletion has moved attention towards cleaner ways to produce energy. This trend facilitated the breakthrough of renewable technologies. Since then, support policies have promoted the large deployment of renewables, without considering enough the improvements made in the energy saving field. Indeed, little attention has been paid to implement energy efficiency measures, which has resulted in scenarios where expedients for a wise use of energy (e.g. energy savings and renewables share) are unbalanced. The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate international experiences on finding the optimal trade-off between efficiency improvements and additional renewable energy supply. A critical review of each technique, focusing on purposes, methodology and outcomes, is provided along with a review of tools adopted for the analyses. The models are categorized and presented according to their main characteristics (e.g. bottom-up/top-down model, regional/national analysis, partial/general equilibrium, static/dynamic model). The results of this paper provide, to the decision-makers, informations useful to identify a suitable analysis for investigate on the optimal trade-off between renewables and energy efficiency measures in energy-systems under different objectives.
