Abstract
The macroeconomic indicator of energy efficiency represents the energy performance in spatial terms (nation, region and macro-region) or the amount of energy used to produce a given unit of Gross Domestic Product. However, the electric transition draws attention to the need to pursue combined sustainable objectives, both economic and environmental-well-being. Through the intermediate spatial dimension-metropolitan city/province, currently the most coherent to represent and support a just energy transition, in this paper it is intended to develop a methodological approach for the com-parative evaluation between electricity energy consumption and the recent equitable and sustainable well-being indicators (BES). In this framework, the objective of the work is the spatial representation of the electricity transition phenomenon in Italy. In particular, the spatial autocorrelation with an intermediate territorial basis in the pre and post-covid period (2017–2021) be-tween electricity consumption and a selected series of BES indicators to recognize spatial equity is investigated. In order to present the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed methodology was applied to the case study covering the Italian territory.Pubblicazioni consigliate
