The tudy employs various econometric techniques such a unit root tests and the Engle-Granger approach to testing cointegration so as to establish the long-run relationship between the variables. lt also applies an Error Correction Model (ECM) to cater for the short-run dynamics and to verify the long-run, or equilibrium relationship suggested by the cointegration test. The results show a significant impact of changes in income on the demand for electricity in both the long- and the short-run. Income elasticity is above unity ( 1.02) in the long-run and i 0.33 in the short run. Price, on the other hand, has the correct signx, 49 pengElectricityElectric power consumptionPower resourcesThesisF004-199299999999999
