在本研究中，我们分析了强制封锁对电力消费行为的作用及其对电力使用瞬间转变的影响。收集和分析了拉各斯大都市内代表259个电力馈线地点的住宅、商业和工业消费者的用电量数据，并在三种情况下进行了分析：首先，我们分析了在没有封锁的情况下照常营业的情况；其次，我们分析了部分封锁的情况；最后，我们分析全面封锁的情况。研究显示，除了政府宣布封锁外，某些社会习俗引发了电力消费和使用的变化，导致了短暂的能源过渡。在住宅部门，越来越多的烹饪、家庭洗衣、淋浴和一些搬到家庭的专业实践影响了更高的用电量。仅限于食品、个人护理和医药产品的生产活动减少，导致工业部门用电量减少，而商业部门用电量减少的主要原因是将贸易服务缩减到必需品。该研究最后强调了这些情景下电力需求和消费变化的影响及其对能源转型和电力规划的影响。
In this study, we analyse the role of forced lockdowns on electricity consumption behaviour and its effect on momentary transition in electricity use. Electricity consumption data for residential, commercial and industrial consumers within the Lagos metropolis representing 259 electrical feeder locations were collected and analysed under three scenarios: first, we analyse a business-as-usual scenario without a lockdown; secondly, we analyse the case of a partial lockdown; and finally, we analyse the case of a total lockdown. The study revealed that aside government announcement of the lockdown, certain social practices triggered changes in electricity consumption and use leading to momentary energy transition. Within the residential sector, increased cooking, home laundry, showering, and some professional practices that moved to the homes impacted on higher electricity consumption. Reduced manufacturing practices limited to those involved in food, personal care and pharmaceutical products led to a reduction in electricity use within the industrial sector, while reduced electricity use in the commercial sector was triggered mainly by a scaling down of trading services to essentials. The study concludes by highlighting the impact of changes in electricity demand and consumption under these scenarios and its implications for energy transition and electricity planning.
