Many jurisdictions use net metering to record the power exchange between solar photovoltaic panels and the grid, thus valuing home production at the electricity retail rate. However, if over the billing period, production exceeds consumption, the surplus remains freely available for consumption....

This paper develops a pseudo-panel approach to examine household electricity demand behaviour through the household … generations. In light of other works, our estimate stands in the lower range. The empirical results also show that residential … electricity consumption follows an inverted U-shaped distribution as a function of the age of the household's head. Most notably …

This paper investigates the key factors affecting household energy expenditure in Egypt. Based upon the latest 2015 … Regularization technique to untangle the spectrum of household energy expenditure. Unsurprisingly, income, age, household size … impact, while socio-economic attributes have a much larger one. The largest variations in household energy expenditures in …

We use survey evidence on reported spending in hypothetical energy price shock scenarios to study novel features of the price elasticity of energy demand and the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) after paying the energy bill. We find that the price elasticity is significantly larger for price...

The transition to net zero carbon emissions necessary to limit global warming importantly involves greater use of renewable energies, especially solar energy, and scaling up renewable energy storage and generation. This paper discusses expanding the use of molten salt for renewable energy...

We study the spatial misallocation resulting from subsidies for residential solar panels in the US and quantify the associated environmental costs. We build a structural model of solar panel demand and electricity production across the country and estimate the model by combining 1) remotely...

In a field experiment tracking 390 electric vehicles minute-by-minute, we show that incentives reduce charging by 17%—27% during peak times and increase it by 34% during midday when solar generation is highest. Peak charging decreases at home, while midday charging rises out of the home....
