The Evaluation of Demand Function for Industrial Power Studied in Khuzestan

Energy plays an important role as consumption good to secure comfort and welfare for communities, it also acts asan input for production process in flourishing economy. Due to the importance of energy in economic equations, thehigh demand for it has long been considered by researchers and energy planners. If we assume economic activities as an index for welfare and consider sustainable growth as an objective, the concepts for energy demand for future discussions. Among the performed studies on energy demand, the power energy is one of the carriers which have been focused by researchers and most research has been conducted on domestic and industrial sectors compared with other sectors. Industrial consumption of electricity depends on industrial growth, the dimension of the industry sector, combinations and the amount of power consumption in variety of industries. We will deal with the demand for power in industrial sector in Khuzestan province through ECM Method.And finally the attractions for generation elasticity and estimate coefficients in methods ECM and OLS in both short-run and long-run will be offered.
