Analisis territorial del impacto de la Revision Tarifaria Integral electrica de 2016 en el sector residencial argentino: el caso de la ciudad de La Plata, Buenos Aires (2014 2018)
The electricity Integral Tariff Revision (ITR) carried out in 2016 in Argentina has generated a significant impact on society, resulting in increases of 2000% (nominal) and 1000% (real) in residential bills (2014 vs. 2018) This situation generated a consequent increase in the share of the cost of electric service over family income, which had a differentiated impact over each social stratum. Indeed, questions arise about the energy behavior (increase/decrease) of the different users in the context of strong increases in the price of this energy vector. Hence, we present a territorial analysis of the variations in residential electricity consumption between 2014 and 2018 in La Plata city (Buenos Aires Argentina) in two work scales: an intra urban (five homogeneous areas) and a global urban (total municipality) This approach allows identifying differentiated behaviors and getting conclusions regarding the territorial impact of the Integral Tariff Revision. The main results show that in the global urban scale consumption was 3.33% while in the intra urban scale there are variations ranging from 12.84% to +17.51% which are associated with socio economic and consolidation variables that characterize each homogeneous area.
