Using electricity intensity as a measure of electricity (energy) efficiency and a quantile regression approach, Ruzive et al. (2019) argued that electricity intensity positively correlated with unemployment rates for the periods before the electricity crisis in South Africa in 2008. Thus, lower EE is associated with higher unemployment.
South Africa accounts for 12% of economic activity in all of Africa and 30% of electricity demand. Currently, it is one of the most energy intensive economies, at 0.179 ktoe per unit GDP (in 2015 USD PPP) compared with world average of 0.111. The current energy mix is dominated by coal and oil and accounts for 85% of the almost 50 GW of …
