In Germany the introduction of a feed-in tariff for renewable energies in the year 2000 led to a massive increase in newly constructed photovoltaic (PV) plants reaching a total installed capacity of 35 GWp as of November 30th, 2013. The distribution of these plants shows a large disparity between regions, which motivates investigations of regional potentials which earlier studies of Germany hav...

This study reinvestigates the effects of socioeconomic factors on residential electricity consumption in 33 provinces Indonesia during 2014–2020. We estimate two dynamic panel models demand at levels, namely, household and aggregate sectors. The gross regional domestic product per capita, unlike tariffs, significantly impacts consumption. population size electrification ratio also positively im...

1 Introduction Demand response (DR) refers to a set of dynamic demand mechanisms that aim to manage electricity consumption in response to supply-side signals. DR can be used for the purpose of demand regulation (e.g. to maintain voltage and frequency within safety limits) as well as for energy balance (e.g. to shift demand to off-peak periods, to curtail demand during emergency situations, or ...

0 Abstract In this article we compare recent findings from focus group research on electricity information disclosure in Switzerland with consumer research in the US. On the basis of the results, we provide an overview of disclosure schemes in the US and in Europe. Our aim is to summarize the key issues of electricity disclosure from a residential customer's point of view and to underline the p...
