India Residential Energy Survey (IRES) 2020

The India Residential Energy Survey (IRES) 2020 is the first-ever pan-India survey on the state of energy access, consumption, and energy efficiency in Indian homes. It covers nearly 15,000 households in 1210 villages and 614 wards in 152 districts across 21 states. Conducted in 2019 in collaboration with the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy (ISEP). Using the nationally representative IRES, we can analyse the assessment of the quality and reliability of power supply and consumer satisfaction with electricity services. Further, it can be used to analyse the consumers' perception on how distribution companies (discoms) handle the metering, billing, and payment collection (MBC) process across households. It can be used to proposes strategies to fill the remaining gaps to realise the goal of universal, affordable, and reliable electricity access among all Indian households.2020年印度住宅能源调查（India Residential Energy Survey，以下简称IRES）是全印度范围内首个针对印度家庭能源获取、消费及能效水平现状的专项调查。该调查于2019年开展，与可持续能源政策倡议（Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy，以下简称ISEP）合作完成。调查覆盖印度21个邦、152个县境内的1210个村庄与614个街区，共计近1.5万户家庭。依托这份具有全国代表性的IRES数据集，可开展印度电力供应质量、可靠性及用户用电服务满意度的评估分析。此外，该数据集还可用于分析用户对配电公司（distribution companies，以下简称discoms）家庭端计量、计费与缴费（metering, billing, and payment collection，以下简称MBC）流程的服务感知情况。本数据集可用于制定相关策略，以填补当前尚存的短板，助力实现全印度家庭均可获得普惠、经济可负担且可靠的电力供应这一目标。
