Abstract

In the summer of 1989 a survey was conducted to collect data on household-energy consumption in Indian cities. The survey was conducted in three urban areas of varying sizes. The end-uses considered were cooking, water heating, lighting, air cooling, entertainment, cold storage, and washing/laundry. The surveys involved examination of the types and quantities of energy used to satisfy each of these services. The survey sample in each of the three cities was broken down by income group, allowing for a careful examination of the influence of household income on lifestyle patterns and related energy use choices. Among the houses surveyed were 75 households in Pune, India, that took part in a 1982 household energy study as well. The re-surveying process allowed for an analysis of longitudinal changes in residential energy use. Based on the survey findings, a number of recommendations are provided for improving the provision and use of energy in urban households in India.
