We examine the causal relationship between electricity consumption and sectoral output growth in Uganda. First, we use vector error correction techniques to estimate the long-run relationship between electricity consumption and GDP growth. Second, we apply Granger causality tests to determine...

Renewable electricity technology adoption is an essential part of the measures to mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development. This paper investigates the drivers of and barriers to renewable electricity technology adoption in Nigeria. Specifically, the factors that influence the...

To design energy access solutions for rural households in developing countries it is important to have an accurate estimation of what their electricity consumption is. Studies reveal that they mainly use electricity to meet their lighting needs, as they cannot afford high power-consuming...

In Kenya, between 2010 and 2015, the number of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) connected to the grid increased by over 60%. Despite this substantial increase, little is known about the behavioural patterns or conditions that contribute to increased electricity consumption among these SMEs....

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...

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...
