The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a question of how to measure and evaluate adequacy of the applied restrictions. Available studies propose various methods mainly grouped to statistical and machine learning techniques. The current paper joins this line of research by introducing a simple-yet-accurate linear regression model which eliminates effects of weekly cycle, available daylight, temperature, and wind from the electricity consumption data. The model is validated using real data and enables the qualitative analysis of economical impact.
