Successfully implementing these measures may result in significant energy savings. Aligning Saudi electricity prices with the average electricity price among G20 countries can reduce total electricity demand by up to 71.6 TWh in 2030. Independently enforcing efficiency policies can reduce total electricity demand by up to 118.7 TWh.
The model shows that industrial electricity demand is relatively price and income-inelastic, with long-run elasticities of −0.1 and within 0.2–0.3, respectively. Additionally, most studies of Saudi electricity demand focus on its responsiveness to prices and income.
Saudi Arabia recently started to reform energy prices, leading to large increases in gasoline and residential electricity prices in 2018. To measure the economic and environmental impacts of energy price reform, we econometrically model gasoline and residential electricity demand using Harvey's (1990) Structural Time Series Model.
Taking into account this substantial increase in electricity demand, the power supply potential of Riyadh could be reassessed by considering other fuel replacement and environmental targets.
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, electricity demand has grown rapidly since the development of the electricity sector in the early 1970s. This growth has been driven by a rapidly increasing population, dynamic economic growth, and low regulated energy prices.
Since 1990, the region has experienced continuous growth in electricity demand, except during two periods: the second waves of energy price reforms in 2018 (-6%) and 2019 (-1.6%) (SAMA, 2023). Consequently, this study utilizes Mikayilov and Darandary’s (2023) regional electricity demand model for Saudi Arabia.
