Abstract
Out of the climatic variables such as temperature, humidity,
precipitation, cloud cover, etc., electricity demand has been found most
responsive to changes in temperature [Parkpoom and Harrison (2008);
Al-Hamadi and Soliman (2005); Hor, et al. (2005)]. According to National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, the decade from 2001 to 2010 was
the warmest worldwide while the rise in surface temperatures of South
Asia region by the end of the century is projected around 3.3oC average
annually (IPCC);1 not only are the average temperatures rising but the
range of extreme temperatures is also widening. Increase in temperatures
can affect human lives significantly; the present study focusses on
examining the impact of climate change on demand for electricity in
Pakistan.
