Summary: By using high-frequency data on electricity consumption in france, the impact of the second lockdown seems to have been less severe, especially for large companies.
The health and economic crisis is of unprecedented scale and speed. To measure it, high frequency data are used, complementary to traditional data. We focus on electricity consumption from ENEDIS data, available on <a href="https://db.nomics.world/" target="_blank">DBnomics</a>, through the <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rdbnomics/index.html" target="_blank">rdbnomics</a> package. All the following code is written in R, thanks to the [@Rct16] and the [@RStu16].
Large enterprises and SMEs experienced a net decrease (-20% and -27% respectively) during the 1st lockdown. The 2nd lockdown mainly impacts the electricity consumption of SMEs (-18% on average in November), even if large enterprises are also affected (-6% on average).
