Pakistan : Household Use of Commercial Energy
This study aimed to examine the impact
of changing availability of different energy sources and
their price levels on household energy choice, consumption,
and expenditures. Knowledge of household expenditures and
energy consumption patterns is an essential building block
for further work on possible policies in the energy sector
and associated poverty and social impact analysis. To this
end, the four most recent household expenditure
surveys-conducted in 1994, 1997, 1999, and 2001-were
analyzed in detail. The survey periods included those with
low fuel prices (1999) and a time of rising world oil prices
(2001). No household expenditure surveys are available from
the last two years, when the increase in fuel prices has far
outstripped general inflation. Nevertheless, between 1994
and 2001, prices of electricity, natural gas, kerosene, and
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) rose more rapidly than the
consumer price index (CPI), potentially offering insights
into how households might react to, and manage, sharply
rising energy prices. The household survey analysis was
supplemented by focus group discussions and individual
interviews conducted in 2004 and 2005. Participants were
asked questions about reasons for energy choice, the quality
of service provided, evidence of increasing competition,
affordability of different energy sources, benefits and
costs, and commercial malpractice.
