The current study aims to investigate the causality relationship between electricity consumption and disaggregate output variables such as: the industrial value added, the service value added, and the agricultural value added. The country of analysis is Benin. Annual series of electricity...

Accurate projections of electricity demand growth by end-use customer class (residential, commercial, industrial) are necessary for energy policy modelling, resource planning, and electricity pricing and procurement. Motivated by the expected trend of rising retail electricity prices in the US...

Although electricity losses constitute an important, but inevitable, amount of wasted resources (and a share that has to be funded), they remain one of the lesser known parts of an electricity system, and this despite the fact that the decisions of generators, transmission and distribution...

Empirical evidence on households' awareness of electricity prices and potentially divergent demand responses to price changes conditional on price knowledge is scant. Using panel data originating from Germany's Residential Energy Consumption Survey (GRECS), we fill this void by employing an...

Power generation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and is in turn likely to be heavily affected by climate change. Earlier analyses have shown that in Southern Europe, including Italy, there is a V-shaped relationship between temperature and electricity usage. Higher temperatures...
