        <![CDATA[The 2023 Household Energy Consumption Survey (HECS) was the first of its kind conducted in Mainland Tanzania. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the Ministry of Energy, with support from Expertise France and financial assistance from the European Union. Survey findings provide a comprehensive overview of household energy consumption. It was designed to inform policy aligned with Tanzania's Development Vision 2025 and the Sustainable Development Goal 7, which focuses on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.

The main objectives of the survey were to assess the types and quantities of energy used by households for cooking, lighting, heating, and other household activities; evaluate access to and adoption of modern energy sources such as electricity, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and solar energy; identify affordability issues, regional disparities, and barriers to clean energy adoption; and offer data driven recommendations to support sustainable energy policy and planning.]]>

          <![CDATA[SURVEY SCOPE AND COVERAGE 
The survey covered scientifically selected households across all regions in Mainland Tanzania, including both rural and urban areas, to capture diverse energy consumption patterns. The survey examines all energy sources used by households, including solid biofuels (fuelwood, charcoal), electricity (grid connected and off-grid including solar PV and mini-hydro), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), kerosene, biogas, and other sources that see minimal use. 

SAMPLE DESIGN
The HECS used a cross-sectional design, collecting data from a nationally representative sample of households at a single point in time. The survey was designed to capture variations in household energy consumption across different geographic areas (urban vs. rural), socio-economic groups, and regions. The domains cover 26 regions, which are Dodoma, Arusha, Kilimanjaro, Tanga, Morogoro, Pwani, Dar es Salaam, Lindi, Mtwara, Ruvuma, Iringa, Mbeya, Singida, Tabora, Rukwa, Kigoma, Shinyanga, Kagera, Mwanza, Mara, Manyara, Njombe, Katavi, Simiyu, Geita, and Songwe. 

SAMPLING FRAMEWORK 
A stratified two-stage sampling technique was applied. In the first stage, 845 Enumeration Areas (EAs) were systematically selected with probability proportional to size (PPS) from the national sampling frame based on the 2022 Population and Housing Census, ensuring both rural and urban areas were represented. In the second stage, a fixed number of 15 households were systematically selected within each EA to participate in the survey. 

 SAMPLE SIZE 
The total sample size was calculated considering precision requirements of the estimates within each domain. The reference variables used to calculate the sample size were households connected to electricity as collected in the 2019/20 Energy Access and Use Situation Survey II. The total number of EAs selected were 845, resulting in 12,675 households. The sample size was determined to provide reliable estimates at the national and urban/rural levels, and to allow disaggregation by key demographic and socio-economic variables]]>

        <collSitu>
          To collect reliable data on fuelwood and charcoal use for cooking, water heating and space heating, the enumerators had been equipped with scales to weigh the amount of wood and charcoal used for one respective activity – cooking one meal a day.
