Abstract EN

A lot of developed and developing countries have tried in search of the relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth, To draw their policies and measures to conserve energy and resources.

Therefore, our study is looking at the relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth in Algeria during the period (1985-2014), to begin to build the empirical model, we studied stationarity of time series by ADF and PP tests, and we found that both electricity consumption per capita and real GDP (Gross domestic product) per capita stationary at the first difference I (1), the cointegration test by ARDL approach, we found a cointegration relation in the case of electricity consumption per capita as a dependent variable, but when studying the stability of the model by CUSUMSQ test, it shows that the model is not valid for the whole period, And therfore Doubting the existence of a cointegration relation, After that we moved to casuality test to decide if there is a cointegration relation or not, it shows that there is no causal relation in any direction, so we reject the existence of cointegration relation between Electricity consumption and economic growth in Algeria.
