This survey collected data on\nhousehold energy indicators (electricity, petroleum fuel) in the household activities (cooking,\nbacking, water heating, lighting, and conditioning). Data collection took place during the\nperiod 24\/08\/2008 - 02\/10\/2008.\nThe results of the survey indicated that 99.8% of households in the Palestinian Territory were\nconnected to the public electricity network in July 2008, while this percentage was 99.5% in\nJuly 2006. From the results, it is noted that the South of West Bank has the lowest percentage\nof households connected to electricity network 98.9%.\nIt is noted that 81.6% of households in the West Bank used normal Electricity Meter. 18.4%\nof households used pre-paid Electricity Meter, this percentage was about 36.1% in the North\nof West Bank, 7.1%in the South of West Bank, and 5.2% in the Middle of West Bank during\nJuly 2008.\nThe survey showed that 68.2% of households in the Palestinian Territory utilized solar energy\nby using solar energy heaters in July 2008, whereas this percentage was 69.2% in July 2006.\nIt is noted that this percentage differs within the Palestinian regions in July 2008; it was about\n71.9% in Gaza Strip and 66.3% in the West Bank.\nThe results of the survey indicated that the average household electricity consumption (from\nthe households that used electricity) in the Palestinian Territory during July 2008 was 271\nKWh, where this average was 227 KWh during July 2006. This average varied by region and\ntype of locality in July 2008: it reached 301 KWh in the Middle of West Bank and did not\nexceed 229 KWh in the North of West Bank. The average was about 282 KWh in urban\nlocalities and 226 KWh in rural localities, and 296 KWh in refugee camps. The average per\ncapita electricity consumption in the Palestinian Territory during July 2008 was 46.7 KWh.\nThe main findings of the survey indicate that the average household gasoline consumption in\nthe Palestinian Territory during July 2008 was 9 liters. This average ranged by type of\nlocality and region, it reached 12 liters in urban localities, 7 liters in rural localities and 3\nliters in refugee camps. This average was about 25 liters in the Middle of West Bank and\ndidn\u2019t exceed 8 liters in the North of West Bank, and 1 liter in Gaza Strip.\nThe survey indicated that 88.7% of households in the Palestinian Territory used liquefied\npetroleum gas; the average household liquefied petroleum gas consumption was 14 kg (from\nthe households that used liquefied petroleum gas), while it was 17 kg in July 2006. This\naverage varies by region and type of locality in July 2008; it reached 17 kg in the South of\nWest Bank, and did not exceed 11 kg in Gaza Strip.\n79.7% of households used conditioning facilities in July 2008, distributed as 78.7% in the\nWest Bank, and 81.9% in Gaza Strip. The main results of the survey indicate that 5.4% of\nhouseholds in the Palestinian Territory have used electrical conditioner, 45.4% of the\nhouseholds used fixed fan, and 75.5% of the households used mobile fan in July 2008.","time_periods":[{"start":"2008-07-01","end":"2008-07-31","cycle":"Two"}],"coll_dates":[{"start":"2008-08-24","end":"2008-10-02","cycle":"2"}],"nation":[{"name":"Palestine","abbreviation":"PSE"}],"geog_coverage":"according to area (West Bank(North, Middle, South), Gaza Strip)","geog_unit":"Urban, rural","analysis_unit":"Households","universe":"All Palestinian Households","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"?"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Palestinian central bureau os Statistics","abbreviation":"Pcbs","affiliation":"PS"}],"sampling_procedure":"Two stage Stratified Cluster Random sample\nThe Frame is the Sencus 1997\nSub Sample of the labour force Survey","sampling_deviation":"No Deviations","coll_mode":["Face-to-face [f2f]"],"research_instrument":"This section presents a documentation of the methodology used in preparing this survey. \n\nThe household energy survey questionnaire was designed in accordance with similar country experience and with international standards and recommendations for the most important indicators, taking into account the special situation of the Palestinian Territory.","coll_situation":"Training had been mwde to the enumerators","act_min":"The field work team consisted of 24 members, including one field work coordinator, 4 supervisors, 4 editors\nand 15 interviewers.","weight":"Since the sampling weight is counteractive with the percentage sample from the frame, and as this ratio is different from the percentage sample for the society in reference period, the weight was adjusted to show the number of population in the middle of 2008.

For this survey, variance calculations were made for average household consumption and total consumption for the different types of energy in the Palestinian Territory.\n\nThe results of wood, charcoal and olive cake suffers from a high variance. This problem  should be taken into consideration when dealing with the average household consumption of these types of fuel, keeping in mind that there is no problem in publishing the data among the geographical level (North of the West Bank, Middle of the West Bank, South of the West Bank and Gaza Strip). However, publishing data for the governorate level is not possible due to the high variance especially for wood, charcoal and olive cake.
