| Sumario: | The environmental worsening, an excessive exploitation of finite resources, and climate change are some of the urgent challenges humanity faces today, and energy cuts across all of them. The rational and efficient use of energy (REUE) includes various actions where energy consumption is the final result of a chain of specific decisions for each socioeconomic context in which they are taken.
This article reviews the history and evolution of the Argentine energy system between 1945 and 2024. Various REUE initiatives promoted by the State as organizer and administrator of this strategic resource are presented, particularly those related to the residential sector, responsible in 2023 for the 27% of the country's energy consumption, with lighting occupying 2% of it.
A well-trodden path is observed in relation to the rational and efficient use of energy since 1979, based on initiatives that do not necessarily constitute public policies. Argentina has a path of good intentions, built on solid foundations that it has not always managed to execute effectively and efficiently. |
