Analysis of Factors affecting on Energy Consumption: A Case Study of Kolhapur City

The impact of many factors on Kolhapur city's energy usage in 2022 will be impartially investigated in this study. As urbanization and population growth continue to accelerate in Kolhapur, understanding the factors influencing energy usage becomes increasingly critical. The city faces challenges related to energy supply, sustainability, and environmental impact. Despite the growing demand for energy, there is limited research on the specific factors that drive energy consumption in Kolhapur. This study aims to fill that gap by investigating the various determinants of energy usage in the city.To determine the various factors influencing energy use, a variety of data was gathered from the Census handbook and the Kolhapur Maharashtra Electricity Board. The findings confirm that climate, temperature, population growth, time, environmental conditions, pollution, and humidity all have statistically significant positive effects on energy usage. Notably, there is a strong positive correlation between energy consumption and the population growth rate, indicating that as the population increases, so does the demand for energy. On the other hand, the cost of natural gas and water has no effect on energy use, suggesting that other factors are more influential in determining consumption patterns.
