This survey addresses the issue of assessing and identifying the role of digital transformation in electrical energy consumption. It is shown that spatial effects in the level of electricity consumption among Russian regions are significant. The work is based on regional data for 2010-2018. Research methods: construction of the Moran and Geary indices, estimation of spatial regression panel models with fixed effects. The Implementation of digital technologies in Russia is at the initial stage, so their impact on energy consumption is ambiguous. The model with a spatial autoregressive lag revealed that the change (increase or decrease) of the electricity consumption level in the one region entails a change of energy consumption in other regions. Since the results indicate the importance of the spatial factor in electricity consumption, the government can implement a differentiated regional policy aimed at improving the efficiency of energy use in certain regions.

“…On the other hand, the use of ICT may improve the efficiency of electric utilization and reduce the EC per unit product [42,43], and the use of ICT may promote the transformation of high electricity consuming industry to low electricity consuming industry, resulting in the decrease of EC [44]. In addition, the development of local ICT can also affect EC through mediating variables, for example, it will promote the optimization and adjustment of economic structure, especially the transformation from high EC industry to low EC industry, which may reduce EC moreover.…”

The extensive use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has facilitated people’s lives and promoted the improvement of productivity. In the meantime, ICT has a profound effect on the efficiency of electricity utilization and the demand for electricity. The existing studies consider the direct effect of ICT on electricity consumption (EC) but neglect the spillover effect of ICT on EC and their action channels. Under the assumption of cross-section dependence, this paper introduces spatial modeling techniques to confirm the positive direct effect and negative spillover effect of ICT on EC. The positive direct effects and negative spillover effects of information technology on EC are similar to those of the communication technology, and the absolute value of the former is also greater than the latter. Additionally, the results of meditation effect modeling also confirm that there exists an incomplete mediating effect in the process of the ICT affecting EC through the channels of economic growth and the adjustment of the industrial structure. This study provides freshly empirical evidence for people to better understand the role of ICT in EC and opens fresh insights for policymakers to make corresponding policy adjustments.

“…The existing studies show that a great variety of factors can affect electricity consumption [6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Sadorsky [10] explored the linkage between information communication technology and electricity consumption in emerging economies, finding that the use of information communication technology causes an upsurge in the demand for electricity consumption.…”

As China is facing the double pressure of economic growth as well as energy-saving and reduction of emissions, reducing electricity consumption without affecting economic development is a challenging and critical issue. Based on 31 provincial panel’s data in China from 2004 to 2018, this study empirically analyzes the direction and degree of the impact of financial development and trade openness on electricity consumption using the spatial econometric approach and panel vector autoregression (PVAR) model. The results indicate that China’s electricity consumption presents a significant spatial spill over effect, and the spatial agglomeration of electricity consumption in local regions is mainly HH clusters. A 1% positive change in financial development causes an increase of 0.089% in electricity consumption, but a 1% rise in financial development reduces electricity consumption of neighboring regions by 0.051%. A 1% positive change in trade openness decreases electricity consumption by 0.051%, while the spatial spillover effect of trade openness is not significant. It is also found that financial development has a long-term promoting effect on electricity consumption, while trade openness has a long-term inhibiting effect on electricity consumption.
