Description |
In Palestine, additional attention is warranted for energy statistics due to scarce natural resources, the high cost of energy and high population density. These factors demand comprehensive and high quality statistics.
Due to high residential consumption of energy, PCBS decided to conduct a special Household Energy Survey to provide high quality data about energy consumption by type of energy, the different energy consuming devices used by households, and energy consumption behavior. To this end, a questionnaire was attached as a module within the Area Statistics Survey.
PCBS conducted the Household Energy Survey to cover the month of January 2015 to ascertain energy consumption behavior.
The survey aimed to provide data on energy consumption by households and also on public energy consumption behavior and patterns by type of energy.
The survey covered data on energy indicators in households in Palestine, including statistical data on electricity and other types of fuel consumption in activities like cooking, baking, heating, lighting and water heating. |
