In this paper, we analyse the change in electricity demand pattern in selected European countries caused by the COVID-19 shutdowns. Therefore, in order to recognize whether the change in the load is shutdown-, season-, or weather-driven we need a sophisticated demand model to disentangle the reduction effects. For exploiting the structural changes in the electricity demand due to the shutdown we apply a high-dimensional time series change-point models to the electricity log-load of each country. The baseline model contains mainly two types of components i) pattern-based time-varying coefficients and ii) autoregressive effects. Figure 5 presents the electricity demand in the other considered countries: Germany, France, Spain and Poland. The shutdowns introduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted significantly both the level of the electricity demand in Europe and its weekly pattern. ./cache/cord-242424-hp1ao99i.txt ./txt/cord-242424-hp1ao99i.txt
