The role of temperature in the variability and extremes of electricity and gas demand in Great Britain
The role of temperature in the variability and extremes of electricity and gas demand in Great Britain
The daily relationship of electricity and gas demand with temperature in Great Britain is analysed from 1975 to 2013 and 1996 to 2013 respectively. The annual mean and annual cycle amplitude of electricity demand exhibit low frequency variability. This low frequency variability is thought to be predominantly driven by socio-economic changes rather than temperature variation.
