Several sources pointed out significant effects on the global economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and as a side effect, greenhouse gas emissions, and the energy and electricity industries are expected to be impacted. A scenario presented by the investment group Goldman Sachs, stated that variations in the gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States would represent a decrease in the residential energy demand, compared to a business-as-usual scenario, reaching around 18.7 trillion British thermal units.
