Abstract EN

The study aimed to estimate the demand for electricity in Sudan for residential sector during the period of 1984-2014.

The study hypothesized that the determinants of the demand function for electricity in residential sector in Sudan depend on the price of electricity in residential sector, alternative energy prices, and disposable income.

The study adopted the descriptive, analytical, statistical, and econometrics methods in order to prove its hypotheses.

The study main findings indicated that the main determinants of the demand function for electricity in residential sector in the short and long-run depend on the price of electricity in residential sector, alternative energy prices, and disposable income; as they explained 98% of long-run equilibrium, and 68% of shortrun equilibrium with 53% adaptation speed.

Therefore, the study recommended putting adaptation speed for short and long-run into consideration when designing the electricity pricing policy.
