This paper estimates the climate sensitivity of electricity demand by examining the impact of apparent temperature on electricity demand in Delhi using daily data on electricity demand for the period 2000-09. The study adopts a semi-parametric variable coefficient model in order to investigate...

Purpose The key purpose of this paper is to quantify the size of the energy-efficiency gap (EEG) for air conditioners at the household level in Delhi. Most of the studies in the EEG tradition broadly define EEG as the difference between the actual and optimal level of energy efficiency. The...

This paper estimates the climate sensitivity of electricity demand in Delhi using daily data on electricity demand and apparent temperature for the period 2000–09. The study adopts a semi-parametric variable coefficient model in order to investigate the impact of climatic factors on...
