Abstract
This paper focuses on the research relating to Residential Consumption. Primary data required for the research is
obtained through survey. For the calculation of energy of base year and projection LEAP is used. From the survey
it is found that the major supply is from firewood and LPG which contributes 149.52 TJ/yr, i.e. 78.75 % and 29.95
TJ/yr, i.e. 15.775% of total energy respectively. The electricity,kerosene contributes 4.741%, 0.385% respectively
and other remaining sources provide 0.349%. Out of 189.86 TJ consumed in year 2016, cooking consumes 116.3
TJ i.e 61.26% of total energy. The study also proposes some scenario to help reduce the energy consumption.
One such scenario is ICS substitution and awareness program which will result in 9.7 TJ of energy saved in year
2030 by the reduction in quantity of fuel-wood used in cooking/heating process. With efficient lighting scenario the
energy consumption in year 2030 will be 191.43 TJ compared to 192.5 TJ in reference scenario which results in
saving of 1070 GJ of energy.
