3 FAQs about [Household energy storage Bhutan]

Why do Bhutanese households switch to cleaner energy sources?

During the last decade significant numbers of Bhutanese households have switched to cleaner energy sources. Empirical results show that a household׳s choice of cleaner energy sources is driven by income level and household wealth, the age, gender and education of the household heads, access to electricity, and location.

Why is LPG a preferred energy source in Bhutan?

LPG has been observed to be a preferred option in Bhutan due to accessibility and familiarity . High-income households are in a more advantageous position for opting for cleaner and more efficient energy sources like electricity and LPG; this finding is in line with similar studies in India , , . Fig. 6.

What is the intensity of household energy consumption of a particular source?

The intensity of household energy consumption of a particular source is defined as the share of household expenditure on a particular source of energy compared to the total household energy expenditure. Since the dependent variable is bounded between 0 and 1, the equations are estimated using the Tobit model. Table 4.
