有理由相信，尽管油价稳定，石油供应充足，冷战结束，提高能源效率仍然是一个重要的能源发展政策。政治原因是当前海湾局势的不确定性和前东方集团国家普遍存在的战争。对全球环境问题的日益关注、能源市场的不完善以及发展中国家渴望迅速经济增长是其他原因。本文采用可计算一般均衡模型分析了能源管理政策对肯尼亚经济的影响。模拟结果表明，提高能源效率可减少对外国能源的依赖，促进可靠的国内能源，促进节约各种形式的能源，节省稀缺的外汇并保护环境。
There are reasons to believe that improved energy efficiency still is an important energy development policy, despite stable oil prices, abundant oil supplies and end of the Cold War. The political reasons are uncertainty of the current Gulf situation and prevalent wars in the former Eastern bloc countries. Increasing concern over global environmental problems, the existence of imperfect energy markets and the desire for rapid economic growth in developing countries are the other reasons. This paper analyses the effects of energy management policies on the Kenyan economy using a computable general equilibrium model. Simulations show that an increase in energy efficiency leads to reduced dependence on foreign energy sources, promotion of reliable domestic energy sources, promotion of conservation of all forms of energy, saves scarce foreign currency and preserves the environment.
