| Abstract | A survey on socio-economic perspectives of Cambodian households related to energy efficiency and consumption was conducted in 2014. We focused on information about households, their current energy, and energy efficiency. A total of 503 electrified households living on an income between two and five dollars, defined as MECCON households, from six provinces and the capital city of Cambodia were selected for this study. A statistical analysis was done using MS-Excel. The study interestingly shows that among the chief wage earners, 13% have a university degree while 12% are government officials. Approximately 94% of the MECON households have access to electricity through the national and community grids. Aside from electricity, other sources such as LPG, charcoal, and biomass are commonly used. For lighting, it is seen that 29% of the studied households use incandescent, while 83.8% employ fluorescent lamp, 54.5% have compact incandescent lamp installed, and only 5.3% consider LED lamp. Finally, it is found that 35% of the MECON households intend to own a refrigerator, 13% are willing to have a washing machine, while about 52% wish to have irons, air conditioners, and so on equipped in their home. In terms of energy efficiency, limited knowledge on it is seen among the studied households. This requires a special attention from the government to widely promote energy efficiency awareness and to establish a strong policy that will contribute to economic development, energy efficiency and security, as well as environmental benefits of the country. |
