This paper provides the first empirical estimates of the relationship between temperatures and household electricity … consumption in Colombia, using electricity billing and weather data from 2010 to 2019. I find that higher temperatures (or higher … values of the heat index) increase electricity consumption, with the largest effects observed for high-income households in …
