| Description |
Most countries pay special attention for providing statistics on energy due to the important role of energy in reflecting the situation of the infrastructure, economic situation and the level of living standards of a society. In Palestine, additional special attention is given due to the shortage of natural resources, the high cost of energy and the high population density. All these factors create a need for comprehensive and high quality statistics on this field of study.
In spite of the attention for providing statistical data on household activities which were found to be the highest energy consuming sector, PCBS decided to cover this sector by conducting a special household energy survey that provides high quality data about consumption of energy types, different energy consuming facilities used at household, and the behavior of this important sector.
PCBS conducts energy household survey twice a year. This survey was conducted during the period from 26/08/2006 to 05/10/2006 covering July so as to know the energy consumption behavior in Summer season.
PCBS hopes that the results of this report will contribute to provide necessary data needed for developing energy situation in households and raising the consumption efficiency. Also, PCBS hopes that this report will contribute to bridge the data gap of energy statistics and to provide useful data for the main data users and decision makers. |
