I. Introduction The large-scale blackout in Korea on September 15, 2011. - By unexpected electricity demand increasing because of a heat waves, Electricity supply cut off to about 1.6 million households for over four hours. To make a stable energy policy, We need the accurate prediction of electricity demand. - A limit to existing energy policies for efficient energy demand management.

Empirical results. The coefficient of ΔlnEP : -0.589 increase in the electricity price of 1% lead to decrease in electricity consumption of 0.589% The coefficient of ΔlnIC is 0.244 growth in the income of 1% lead to increase in electricity consumption of 0.244% The coefficient of ΔlnAG is -0.203 increase in the aging of 1% lead to decrease in electricity consumption of 0.203% The coefficient of ΔlnCDD is 0.014 increase in the cooling degree days of 1% lead to increase in electricity consumption of 0.014% The coefficient of ΔlnHDD is -0.051 increase in the heating degree days of 1% lead to decrease in electricity consumption of 0.051% The coefficient of ΔlnTD is 0.142 Electricity consumption increase as time passes.

III. Empirical results price elasticities of residential electricity demand. - Short-run and long-run price elasticities of residential electricity consumption are inelastic. - The long-run elasticity of residential electricity demand is larger than short-run elasticity.

III. Empirical results Testing over-identifying restrictions Tests for first-order and second-order serial correlation - H0 : over-identifying restrictions are valid. - H0 : no serial autocorrelation. H0: overidentifying restrictions are valid chi2(35)15.85019 Prob > chi20.9978 OrderzProb > z 1-1.7350.0827 21.25570.2092 H0 : no autocorrelation do not reject the null hypothesis, so all instruments are valid. null is rejected for the first-order, but cannot be rejected for the second-order correlation.

IV. Conclusion 1.Price elasticities of residential electricity demand. - No significant changes in electricity consumption for the price change, because electricity is ‘a necessary.’ - The effect of the additional price charges for energy consumption reduction will be slight. 2. Population aging reduces residential electricity demands. 3. Increase in heating degree days lead to decrease in electricity consumption.
