Most energy models used for policy analysis are too complex for non-experts. We propose an energy model and demonstrate how non-experts can employ it to understand and evaluate renewable energy policies. The model has a game-like user interface, known as a microworld, made accessible to a broader range of users, allowing them to interact directly with the model without needing a specialist, enhancing the user's comprehension of the regulatory options for renewables.

Abstract
Demand-side management of energy consumption using energy efficiency improvements has the potential to reduce poverty in addition to reducing greenhouse emissions. However, very little is known about the impact of electrical energy consumption inefficiency on poverty.
Using data from a household survey and the Ordinary Least Square estimation technique, we first assess the impact of household electricity consumption efficiency on multidimensional poverty using a stochastic energy demand frontier model.
