“…A number of studies have examined the measures implemented by governments to control the pandemic, from traffic restrictions to economy-wide shutdowns and have highlighted the need to implement effective policies for countries still facing outbreaks or a new wave of pandemic outbreaks [20][21][22][23]. The quality of government policies in managing the health aspects of the crisis influences cross-border differences in the economic impact of the pandemic so that governments that do well in managing the crisis will also have better results in terms of economic results [24].…”

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Electricity Consumption and Economic Growth in Romania

et al. 2021

This paper analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic growth and electricity consumption and investigates the hypothesis of the influence of this consumption on the gross domestic product (GDP) for Romania. Using time series on monthly electricity consumption and quarterly GDP and a multi-linear regression model, we performed an analysis of the evolution of these indicators for 2007–2020, a comparison between their behavior during the financial crisis vs. COVID-19 crisis, and empirically explore the relationships between GDP and electricity consumption or some of its components. The results of the analysis confirm that the shock of declining activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic had a severe negative impact on electric energy consumption and GDP in the first half of 2020, followed by a slight recovery. By using a linear regression model, long-term relationships between GDP and domestic and non-household electricity consumptions were found. The empirically estimated elasticity coefficients confirm the more important impact of non-household electricity consumption on GDP compared to the one of domestic electricity consumption. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the results of the study could be useful for optimizing energy and economic growth policies at the national and European levels.

“…The findings showed that air transport mobility was greatly affected by COVID‐19 with a reduction in the number of flights that directly reduce the CO 2 emission. On the other hand, Qarnain et al 30 investigated the energy consumption rates of residential society during the pandemic. The result noted that the mandatory lockdown forced target residents to consume more energy for their daily activities.…”

An evaluation of the causal effect between air pollution and renewable electricity production in Sweden: Accounting for the effects ofCOVID‐19

Summary The COVID‐19 pandemic has made a significant disruption in the renewable industry, and the effects will last longer. In this context, understanding how and which specific renewable power got affected due to this crisis is of crucial importance. This study examines the nexus between COVID‐19 and Sweden's renewable electricity production from three sources of energy such as nuclear, solar, and wind, where the data ranges from January 1, 2019, to February 17, 2021. Since this study compares the period before and during the pandemic event, the study uses Air Quality Index as a measure of COVID‐19 induced event and thus study the linkage between air quality and electricity production from three types of renewable energy. To analyse the above issue, several advanced techniques such as Wavelet Power Spectrum, Wavelet Coherence, Partial and Multiple Wavelet Coherence have been applied. The findings from the Wavelet Coherence approach demonstrate that COVID‐19 has disrupted the linkage between wind energy generation and air quality, while the disruption in the case of solar and nuclear electricity generation has been minimal. Moreover, solar energy generation and air pollution both negatively affect each other, implying the need to generate solar power as well as reduce the level of air pollution in Sweden. In light of the above findings, the study discusses possible policy actions the country can take to fulfil its renewable development goals.

“…Energy conservation application focuses on the alternative energy use and the energy saving features (Fachrudin, 2020). Qarnain et al (2020) emphasized energy conservation factors of residential building based on consumer behavior. Meanwhile, Gandhe and Pandey (2017) explained energy conservation by households in India based on green behavior.…”

The energy conservation application on campus may reduce energy consumption by using alternative energy sources. Green behavior in energy conservation by students and campus regulation has an important role in developing green campus. The purpose of this research is to analyze factors affecting energy conservation application on green campus design based on green behavior. Green behavior consists of attitudes, responsibilities, control behavior, beliefs, and intentions in energy conservation. This research used a quantitative method and conducted at universities in Medan city, Indonesia. The population of this research was university students with a total sample of 395 respondents. The analysis was carried out with SEM-PLS. Attitudes and beliefs were affecting perceived behavior control. In addition, beliefs are also affecting energy conservation application on green campus. Therefore, the campus policy and management should consider students green behavior in designing energy conservation application for green campus. Green behavior by campus occupants is beneficial to support campus efforts to apply green campus concepts.
