Abstract:

This study presents an alternative method for predicting residential electricity consumption. Based on electricity expenditures data from Hungary, we calculated consumption patterns for people living in different types of settlements by income deciles. We developed 12 scenarios of expected urbanization and income effects for the period 2020 to 2050. Our forecast outputs are consistent with scenarios in the literature proving that in the absence of long-term panel data, future electricity consumption can still be adequately estimated based on the evolution of electricity expenses.
