None of the following is a policy instrument acting on the demand side except

  • A.a capacity addition programme for coal stations
  • B.a transmission network expansion plan
  • C.a scheme to develop domestic coal mining
  • D.appliance efficiency labelling

Answer: D

Correct answer: appliance efficiency labelling

Labelling acts on demand: it changes what consumers buy and therefore how much energy is needed. The other three all act on supply - adding generating capacity, expanding the transmission network and developing coal mining. The distinction matters because demand-side measures are usually cheaper per unit and faster to take effect, which is exactly the negawatt argument.
