dc.description.abstract | Household electricity consumption has been a major contributor to the global energy demand
and has increased quickly over the past decades. Therefore, this project attempts
to examine the key factors in uencing household electricity consumptionin Kenya from
a top-down perspective, by reviewing and evaluating previous research work. The study
utilized both socio-econmic indicators (e.g. gross domestic product, Number of households
connected to the grid), demographic (population) and energy values (electricity
tari ). Analysis results found that the gross domestic product and population provide
signi cant impact on household electricity consumption. Nonetheless, the e ect of the
electricity tari and the number of households connected to the grid failed to receive a
signi cant support. This implies that future demand for household electricity demand in
Kenya will signi cantly be determined by socioeconomic factors and demographic factors.
Thus, these developments should be considered by policy makers in planning for
energy in Kenya and developing economies. | en_US |
