Traditionally electric and gas utilities have promoted the development of more efficient appliances through research institute R D programs and through utility incentive programs which provide incentives for efficient commercilized products. Recently, a third mechanism have evolved : multiutility incentive programs which target higher levels of efficiency than thew best products presently on the market. One program of this type is now underway for refrigerator / frezers. A second program has just begun for residential clothes washers. Further efforts are likely as evidenced by a recent research project wich dentified major opportunities for more efficient appliances and by the formation of a new organization to develop and promote programs of this type. This paper summarizes each of these efforts..
