Short- and long-run impacts of rural electrification : evidence from the historical rollout of the U.S. power grid

Lewis, Joshua; Severnini, Edson R. - 2017

Electrification among American farm households increased from less than 10 percent to nearly 100 percent over a three decade span, 1930{1960. We exploit the historical rollout of the U.S. power grid to study the short- and long-run impacts of rural electrification on local economies. In the...

Evaluating the impacts of minigrid electrification in sub-Saharan Africa

Ayhan, Sinem H.; Falchetta, Giacomo; Steckel, Jan Christoph - 2022

A large share of the population of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) lacks access to modern energy services. To bridge the electricity access gap, distributed power generation systems such as minigrids and stand-alone photovoltaic systems emerge as attractive options in the power supply solution space....

Which households respond to electricity peak pricing amid high levels of electrification?

Garnache, Cloé; Hernæs, Øystein; Imenes, Anders Gravir - 2022

We examine heterogeneity in Norwegian households' price responses to critical peak pricing (CPP) on electricity consumption, using a large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT), high-frequency electricity data, and default enrollment. Increasing the grid transmission charge by 4,067%...
