Can Distributed Intermittent Renewable Generation Reduce Future Grid Investments? Evidence from France
This paper estimates the relationship between investments in five distributed generation technologies and hourly net withdrawals from over 2,000 electricity distribution networks in France between 2005 and 2018. We find that investments in distributed wind and solar generation have little or no impact on the annual peak of hourly net withdrawals from the distribution grid, while investments in hydroelectric and thermal distributed generation sign…
Do water savings persist? Using survival models to plan for long-term responses to extreme drought
Water utilities must maintain reliable service in a world where climate shocks and other socio-economic and health stressors are likely to disrupt water availability and demand more frequently. Understanding short- and long-term customer responses to these salient events is critical for infrastructure planning and capital investment. Although the short-term demand impacts of extreme droughts and related policy measures have been studied extensive…

Mining the gap in long-term residential water and electricity conservation
Climate change and economic development provide a strong rationale for urban water and electricity conservation. Although behavioral and technological factors link short-term conservation of both resources, their long-term residential consumption trends have diverged across industrialized nations: from 1990 to 2010, per capita water use decreased, while per capita electricity use increased. This long-term ‘conservation gap’ has not generally been…
