Determining the efficiency of residential electricity consumption

Electricity Prices, Income and Residential Electricity Consumption

In recent years, aiming to reduce the Greenhouse Gas pollution and promote energy efficiency and conservation among consumers’ energy use, price policies and price changes derived from environmental regulations have played a more important role. In this paper, using the most recent annual state-level panel data for 48 states, I estimate a dynamic partial adjustment model for electricity demand ...

Developing a framework for using electricity consumption data to drive energy efficiency in the residential sector

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Residential Consumption of Gas and Electricity in the US : What are the Effects of Prices and Energy - Efficiency

We focus on residential electricity and gas demand, and ask three research questions. First, how does residential energy use respond to prices? We specifically wish to examine whether ownand cross-price elasticities have changed in recent years, given the evolution of the energy market. Second, is such responsiveness sensitive to equipment and energy choices that are not easily reversed (e.g., ...

Analyzing Residential Electricity Consumption Patterns Based on Consumer’s Segmentation

The identification of energy consumption patterns contributes for the tailoring of energy efficiency solutions. This paper contributes to this issue by addressing the characterization of electricity consumption data with 15 min sampling of twenty two households, in Lisbon. The consumers have been segmented according to: social class, contracted power, number of rooms, family size and type of ta...
