Abstract

In this paper, we study the quantitative effects of climatic factors (cold and hot events represented by cooling and heating degree days, wind speed, precipitation and sunshine duration) on electricity consumptions in the four sectors of China and draw the curves of temperature sensitivity of each sector. The results of impacts of climatic factors demonstrate that the household sector and the tertiary industry are more sensitive to the hot and cold events than the primary and the secondary industry; the stimulation of the cold pressure on the electricity use of the household sector, the secondary and the tertiary industry is approximately 1/2 of that of the same degree of the hot event; under the condition of temperatures rise, the saved amount of electricity is not sufficient to offset the incremental electricity consumption for each sector; the impact on the secondary industrial relative amount is minimum but absolute amount is highest while that of primary industry is opposite.
