Sectoral analysis of electricity consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence for unregulated and regulated markets in Colombia

John Garcia-Rendon et al.

Summary: In this study, we analyze the electricity consumption in Colombia's regulated and unregulated markets during the COVID-19 pandemic. By applying a model of seemingly unrelated regression equations to data from February 2015 to May 2021, we find that mandatory preventive isolation led to a recomposition of electricity consumption. The residential sector experienced a 16.9% increase in average consumption due to the prevalence of working from home. On the other hand, sectors subjected to quarantine measures showed significant decreases in consumption, with the financial sector experiencing up to a 32% decrease. Industries not subjected to mandatory confinement, such as healthcare, agriculture, and water supply, did not show significant effects. These findings are important for informing demand forecasts and planning network expansions to ensure a reliable supply, especially as remote work practices may become permanent.

Fleeting energy protections: State and utility level policy responses to energy poverty in the United States during COVID-19

Dominic J. Bednar et al.

Summary: Millions of American households face energy poverty and the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the environmental and energy injustices that threaten public health. Energy protection responses to address pandemic-induced economic hardships have been implemented in various metropolitan areas, but there is limited scholarly research on this topic. This study examines the energy protection responses in 25 major US cities, analyzing their timing, authorization level, and type, as well as their impact on household energy burden.

COVID-19 triggered residential behavioral changes and electricity consumption of detached houses in Japan

Masayuki Kojima et al.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that residential power consumption has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in cities, due to lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. This study compared the power consumption of 1,339 detached houses in Japan over the past three years and a year after the pandemic, and analyzed changes in living behaviors through a questionnaire survey. As of March 2021, after 12 months of the pandemic, it was found that the lifestyle had almost returned to normal, with working from home being the only behavioral change that may continue to affect power consumption in Japanese society.

Changes in hourly electricity consumption under COVID mandates: A glance to future hourly residential power consumption pattern with remote work in Arizona

Arthur Lin Ku et al.

Summary: The transition to remote work has led to changes in residential power consumption patterns, requiring long-term planning and policy adjustments. The study shows that COVID mandates increase afternoon power consumption and change the winter power consumption pattern. Additionally, residents' income, race, and house size are correlated with power consumption changes. By adjusting time-of-use rates, peak electricity demand can be reduced.

Electricity demand during pandemic times: The case of the COVID-19 in Spain

I Santiago et al.

Summary: The lockdown measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 led to a significant decrease in electricity consumption in Spain, with changes in power demand profiles at homes, hospitals, and overall demand. Despite increased uncertainty in demand forecasts, production deviations only slightly increased thanks to a diversified generation mix, increased proportion of renewable sources, and reduced CO2 emissions.

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.
