Abstract: The residential sector is the third largest electricity user in Taiwan. A clear understanding of the rapid growth in its electricity consumption is crucial to the formulation of policy. This study applied the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) to a decomposition of Taiwan’s residential electricity consumption based on eighteen electrical appliances. Data was obtained from questionnaire surveys conducted in 7677 households. Note that this study was conducted at various disaggregation levels in order to characterize the consumption of electricity in terms of the factors that contribute to specific end-uses.
