Impact analysis of COVID-19 responses on energy grid dynamics in Europe

Annette Werth et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, most European countries experienced a significant decrease in electricity generation, with a notable drop in energy consumption. Additionally, there was an increase in renewable energy generation, as well as fossil gas in some countries. The European grid helped balance these changes by increasing both energy exports and imports, with some countries transitioning from net exporters to net importers.

Multiscale effects masked the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on electricity demand in the United States

Casey D. Burleyson et al.

Summary: Shelter-in-place orders and business closures due to COVID-19 significantly affected the hourly profile of electricity demand, prompting the need for a better understanding of the underlying drivers at the customer-class scale. The study revealed that while commercial loads declined, residential load profiles shifted during the pandemic, with variations observed in total sales at different scales and regions.

Marilyn A. Brown et al.

Summary: The analysis reveals that the under-investment in demand response in Georgia is primarily due to the need for financing initiatives, market innovations, infrastructure modernization, and enablers of socio-economic inclusion. Understanding barriers and motivators for demand response can help other countries and regions identify and overcome similar issues.

Sociodemographic disparities in energy insecurity among low-income households before and during the COVID-19 pandemic

Trevor Memmott et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated energy insecurity among low-income populations in the United States, particularly increasing the likelihood of energy insecurity among Black and Hispanic households, those with young children, individuals requiring electronic medical devices, or living in inefficient or poor conditions. These conditions exist under normal circumstances, but the pandemic seems to have worsened the overall incidence of energy insecurity.

Impact of the Lockdown during the COVID-19 Pandemic on Electricity Use by Residential Users

Slawomir Bielecki et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown led to changes in residential energy consumption patterns, with residents spending more time at home increasing their energy usage without affecting the average daily peak power. The digital competency of society is expected to increase as remote work and education continue, potentially leading to new forms of energy exchange and services utilizing demand-side response and prosumption mechanisms.

Covid-19 shelter-at-home and work, lifestyle and well-being in desk workers

B. Barone Gibbs et al.

Summary: The study found that the COVID-19 pandemic and related social restrictions have negatively impacted the lifestyle behaviors and mental health of desk workers, with increases in sedentary behavior, worsened sleep quality, increased mood disturbances, and reductions in quality of life and work-related health. Employers are encouraged to support healthy lifestyle and well-being among desk workers during pandemic-related social restrictions, regardless of remote working status.

Jakob Weitzer et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 mitigation period, a portion of the Austrian population reported improvements in quality of life and work productivity, with working from home being associated with increased quality of life but decreased perceived productivity. The benefits of working from home were not evenly distributed across gender, age, and educational attainment.

Inequitable and heterogeneous impacts on electricity consumption from COVID-19 mitigation measures

Jiehong Lou et al.

Summary: This paper explores the impact of COVID-19 on electricity consumption behavior in low-income and ethnic minority groups, finding that the mandates of school closures and limiting business operations have opposite effects on residential and commercial electricity consumption, especially with varying increases in electricity consumption among economically disadvantaged and ethnic minority populations.

Review analysis of COVID-19 impact on electricity demand for residential buildings

Moncef Krarti et al.

Summary: This paper presents a systematic review analysis of fully enforced stay-at-home orders and government lockdowns, focusing on the impacts of stay-at-home living patterns on energy consumption of residential buildings. While overall electricity demand decreases during lockdowns, residential energy use has increased due to higher occupancy patterns during daytime hours. Energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions are suggested to mitigate the increase in energy demands caused by extended stay-at-home living patterns.

Changes in Domestic Energy and Water Usage during the UK COVID-19 Lockdown Using High-Resolution Temporal Data

Tamaryn Menneer et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 outbreak, the UK Government advised people to stay at home, leading to an increase in gas usage and a delay in morning electricity usage during the full lockdown. These changes suggest that people were getting up later, spending more time at home, and engaging in more cleaning activities during the lockdown period.
