Abstract

This dataset's data relate to Japan's electricity consumption from 1990 to 2015. It can be used by researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers to analyze the impact of changes in electricity prices on the demand for electricity by region in the residential and industrial sectors. The dataset is divided into three categories: (i) regional sectoral electricity consumption data, (ii) regional sectoral electricity consumption intensity data, and (iii) regional sectoral electricity price data. Each category was obtained on an annual basis directly from various government databases. All data are aggregated by region.

Keywords: Electricity consumption intensity; Electricity price; Industrial electricity consumption; Price sensitivity; Residential electricity consumption.
