“…More recent studies of this strand can also be seen in its impact on energy (Jia et al, 2021;Wang & Han, 2021;Armeanu et al, 2022), electricity demand (Norouzi et al, 2020), electricity demand in the United States (Agdas & Barooah, 2020;Burleyson et al, 2021;Ruan et al, 2021), in Europe (Werth et al, 2021), and Spain . In addition, some more studies have emerged in the residential electricity consumption (Krarti & Aldubyan, 2021;Khalil & Fatmi, 2022;Ku et al, 2022), energy consumption at a disaggregated level (García et al, 2021), and provincial-level electricity consumption in China (Ai et al, 2022). At last, although we are not focusing on the electricity supply in this study, the electricity power production in the COVID-19 pandemic is also noted (Ahmad et al, 2022).…”

Quantifying the shock to the economy from the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult. Although this shock is easily linked to financial markets as a sort of monetary shock, few studies have been done on its effect on the real economy. This study takes a particular economic perspective, focusing on electricity uses in various sectors of the economy. We propose a novel method for comparing electricity use in 2019Q1 and 2020Q1, based on which we derive the degree of the real shock to some important economic sectors from COVID-19. In our theoretical framework, demand for energy and its influencing factors are related to the total scale of the economy, i.e., the gross domestic product. Using suitable empirical methods, we obtain certain marginal effects and then calculate the corresponding ratio as the real shock from COVID-19. The ratio between these marginal effects reveals the need for a balance between stocks and the corresponding differences in the economy. In our cases, the electricity use in various economic sectors plays a role in both stocks and the differences. We find that, although manufacturing and consumption are affected, the services are more vulnerable to the shock from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings offer implications for policymakers.

“…Therefore, electricity consumption patterns in both residential and commercial buildings have changed. Ku et al (2022) used individual hourly power consumption data within a machine learning framework to examine changes in electricity use patterns due to COVID-19 mandates in Arizona. Chinthavali et al (2022) examined changes in energy use patterns on weekdays and weekends before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

The rapid popularization of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) smart meters produces customer high-frequency energy consumption data. These data provide diverse options for energy economics and policy research. In this review, we examine studies applying high frequency smart meter data to explore the overall impact of household new technology adoption and COVID-19 on energy consumption patterns. We find that high frequency smart meter data boosts the accuracy of forecasting models with various data-driven algorithms. In addition, there is a lack of precise assessment and inclusive understanding of energy poverty in advanced economics. Smart meter data help expand and deepen the energy poverty research. Research on how vulnerable groups exhibit energy poverty can improve society's understanding of energy poverty and help implement related policy assistance programs.

“…In considering electricity consumption, COVID-19 mandates that effected work from home patterns saw increased power consumption at home by 13 percent [72]. It is however, unclear if the increased domestic electricity consumption features a decline in office and work environment levels by an equivalent level (i.e., less or more overall electricity consumption).…”

The practice of telework, remote work, and working from home has grown significantly across the pandemic era (2020+). These practices offer new ways of working but come with a lack of clarity as to the role it plays in supporting the wellbeing of staff. (1) Background: the purpose of this study is to examine the current literature on wellbeing outcomes and effects of telework; (2) Methods: this study adopts a systematic literature review from 2000-2022 using the PRISMA approach and thematic analysis guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Wellbeing, Decent Work, Gender Equality, and Inclusive Production); (3) Results: it was evident that there is a lack of clarity on the actual effects of telework on employee wellbeing, but it appeared that it had a generally positive effect on short-term wellbeing of staff, and created more flexible and proactive work design opportunities; (4) Conclusions: there is a need for more targeted research into work designs that support wellbeing and productivity of staff, and consider the environmental sustainability changes from reduced office and onsite work and increased working from home.
