“…For instance, Zhang et al (2013Zhang et al ( , 2014 investigated the determinants of bioenergy consumption in rural China by applying different econometric regression techniques like OLS regression, Logit, and Tobit. Other studies (Bamiro & Ogunjobi, 2015); Johnson, 2016) follow the same econometric approach OLS and Multinomial Logit Regression to analyse structural determinants of energy consumption in Togo and Nigeria, respectively. Previous studies (Azam et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2015) estimated the determinants of energy and renewable energy consumption in Greece and China, respectively.…”

This study contributes to the existing literature by examining bioenergy consumption and related factors in continental European countries (ECC). This study extends the current research through its focus on the ECC, which mainly consists of nationwide studies. This study analyses the determinants of bioenergy consumption in the ECC from 2005-2013, estimates its economic variables and evaluates the influence of each variable on bioenergy consumption and related significance level. A generalised method of moments estimator (GMM) was designed for ECC. The estimated models show that bioenergy capital input (CI) positively impacts bioenergy consumption. The most influential factor on use was the price of bioenergy (PR) followed by investment (INV), then gross domestic product (GDP). These results should be considered and used as a tool to develop legislation and policies that could benefit the bioenergy sector in ECC. The evidence shows that CI, INV, and PR have been the primary keys in improving bioenergy consumption in recent years in ECC countries. Thus, they have advanced the efficiency of bioenergy consumption.

Universal access to electricity is an essential part of sub-Saharan Africa’s path to development. With the United Nations setting Goal 7 of its Sustainable Development Goals to be universal access to clean, reliable and affordable electricity, substantial research efforts have been made to optimize electricity supply based on projected demand in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. However, most of these projections of electricity demand do not explicitly account for latent demand (i.e., electricity demand that would exist if the necessary techno-economic conditions were met). Our paper reviews electricity demand estimation and consumption literature to propose a framework for quantifying latent demand. In our study, we found that of the 56 papers reviewed only 3 (5%) of them incorporated latent demand in their projection of electricity demand in SSA. Majority of the literature on electricity consumption and demand estimation in SSA use econometric models to identify determinants of electricity consumption and project future demand. Furthermore, we identified population density, urbanization, household income, electricity price, market value of crops and availability of natural resources to be significant determinants of electricity consumption in SSA. We conclude the review by proposing a methodology for more accurately projecting latent demand in sub-Saharan Africa. Incorporating latent demand in electrification models would help inform energy sector stakeholders in SSA, especially investors and policymakers, about which sectors and geographic locations hold potential for wealth creation via electricity access.
