To achieve a reduction in electricity consumption, it is vital to have actual information about household electricity use. The load scheduling potential and household energy efficiency performance until 2020 were evaluated in this study based on data from of a four-person family. The derived results show that, due to the washing machine and dishwasher load shifting, the peak load of a dwelling can be reduced on average by 24% and 13,5%, respectively. 1219 kWh savings can be achieved until 2020 through improvements in the energy performance of some more intensively used appliances.
