The Decomposition Analysis of Residential Electricity Consumption in China

doi:10.11930/j.issn.1004-9649.2014.3.130.4

Abstract

Abstract: Electricity consumption plays an important role in Resource conservation and environmental protection. Using LMDI method and decomposition analysis, this paper identifies four key factors including demographic effects, urbanization, social atomization and electricity consumption intensity that contribute to the increase of residential electricity consumption(REC). Results show that increased electricity consumption intensity is the primary driver for REC increment across the country. While demographic, urbanization and social atomization do not have a strong explanation power for the current REC growth, their impacts tend to increase. Besides, we found there are significant differences about the influences of the four factors among four major economic regions.

Key words: LMDI, REC, urbanization effects, social atomization, REC intensity
