In general, it is expected that residential electricity consumption decreases due to price increase. However, electricity consumption can also increase while electricity price increases, provided that income increases at the same rate or higher. Thus, we investigated the factors affecting...

Energy efficiency improvements owing to technological progress in the energy-using appliances and equipment lower effective price of energy services and, in turn, result into behavioural ex-post increase in the consumption of energy. Thus, on net basis technological progress negatively...

This study divides the households into five groups according to the electricity consumption and compares the characteristics and the determinants of household electricity consumption for only two groups, the lowest and the highest. The data are drawn from a household energy consumption sample...

The rise in environmental awareness has increased the significance of controlling and monitoring electricity consumption. The efficiency of power management is directly affected by the accuracy of predicting electricity consumption. It is easy to estimate the electricity consumption if the...

This study presents three models of multiple linear regressions for forecasting energy demand. The first is a simple multiple linear regression, the second model has an economic interpretation of coefficients (econometric), while the third model is developed in the form of double logarithm...

The actual state of electricity consumption characteristics in the residential sector in Thailand was presented. They were an essential information for the total energy usage estimation. They were used for investigating the feasibility of energy conservation. A questionnaire interview survey of...

This paper investigates the effects of electricity consumption and generation on carbon emissions in 25 African countries for the 1980-2016 period. Specifically, it examines the effects of diverse electricity sources (e.g. hydro, oil, natural gas, coal) and renewable electricity output on carbon...

The aim of this paper is to examine various socio-economic, dwelling-related and appliance-related factors which influence electricity consumption in Montenegro. Data was collected via questionnaires completed by 964 households in the second quarter of 2019 in Montenegro. Structural Equation...

The increase demand for electricity and the non-renewable nature of fossil energy makes the move towards renewable energies required. However, the common problem of renewable sources, which is the intermittence, is overcome by the hybridization of complementary sources. Thus, whenever the load...

Iranian agriculture has been supported by cheap energy for decades. So the question of whether this policy had brought any real outcome in terms of sector growth and export is of high importance for policy making. This paper tries to empirically identify such relation by using time series...
