The impact of the COVID-19 on households' hourly electricity consumption in Canada

Ahmed Abdeen et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic led to increased household electricity consumption, with a portion attributed to higher temperatures and the remainder to temperature-independent loads. Post-COVID peak loads were significantly higher, and there were noticeable changes in household electricity use patterns and demand.

Analysis of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Brazilian distribution electricity market based on a socioeconomic regulatory model

Vinicius B. F. Costa et al.

Summary: The paper evaluates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Brazilian distribution electricity market by applying an Optimized Tariff Model, quantifying the impact on consumer quality of life and economic performance of power distribution companies. Companies without access to government public policy suffered economic losses exceeding 1 GR$. An alternative mitigation measure based on the Optimized Tariff Model is proposed, proving advantageous in some aspects compared to government policy, such as eliminating the need for bank loans.

Impact of the COVID-19 Lockdown on the Electricity System of Great Britain: A Study on Energy Demand, Generation, Pricing and Grid Stability

Desen Kirli et al.

Summary: The outbreak of COVID-19 has drastically changed electricity consumption patterns, leading to challenges in supply and demand balancing and forecasting system operations. Mitigation measures such as lockdown and remote work have decreased total demand while significantly altering its profile. The shift to remote work has benefited flexible stakeholders like consumers on variable tariffs, but the increased share of renewable energy in the generation mix calls for faster and more frequent balancing actions, as well as a redesign of existing balancing mechanisms and long-term power system planning strategies.

Resilience a means to development: A resilience assessment framework and a catalogue of indicators

F. Mujjuni et al.

Summary: The concept of resilience is important in socio-technical disciplines due to increased dependency on engineered systems and their vulnerability to threats. Existing frameworks for assessing resilience in the energy sector are limited in demonstrating direct links to development, proposing narrow indicators, and complexity in real-world application. This study highlights the relevance of resilience as a necessity and outcome of development, proposing a framework for measuring resilience in the electricity supply industry.

The impact of the UK's COVID-19 lockdowns on energy demand and emissions

Daniel Mehlig et al.

Summary: Efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led to significant changes in energy demand and emissions from electricity and gas in the UK. While there were substantial emission reductions for electricity, the impact on gas demand and emissions was relatively minor. Future changes in activity may have little effect on gas demand and emissions, highlighting the need for continued decarbonization of the generation mix to further reduce emissions.

The health policy response to COVID-19 in Malawi

Grace W. Mzumara et al.

Summary: Malawi responded to the COVID-19 pandemic with a multisectoral approach, implemented through 15 focused working groups feeding into a central committee. Key policies included international travel ban, school closures, cancellation of public events, mandatory face coverings, and testing for symptomatic individuals. Supportive interventions focused on risk communication, community engagement, access to water and sanitation, nutrition, and social-cash transfers for vulnerable households.

From Security to Resilience: Technical and Regulatory Options to Manage Extreme Events in Low-Carbon Grids

Julian Eggleston et al.

Summary: Extreme events are increasingly affecting power systems worldwide, requiring new and effective ways to deal with these high-impact, low-probability events. The transition to low-carbon grids, with systems dominated by inverter-based resources, including various types of variable renewable energy sources and distributed energy resources, has further complicated the assessment of operational uncertainty and risk profiles.

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.
