The PRSP recommends a gradual lifting of subsidies for petroleum products, phased to ensure that energy price reform does not aggravate poverty in a country with an already high percentage of poor people. The PRSP also promotes policies that will lead to better access to energy. This report deals with the relationship between energy policy and household welfare. By establishing the facts about household energy supply and use, the impact of new energy policies on the poor can be anticipated with greater confidence. A household energy strategy forms an essential element of overall energy sector planning. At the request of the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MOPIC), the joint World Bank/United Nations Development Program Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) carried out a study to examine the energy policies which would, if implemented, contribute to poverty reduction in Yemen. The study reviewed the main beneficiaries of energy subsidies and the likely impact of their removal. This report, Volume I, summarizes the results of the study and outlines a number of policy options intended to achieve the energy sector goals of economic efficiency, financial cost recovery, environmental sustainability and social equity. A separate report, Volume II, contains a set of ten annexes.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO ENERGYACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTSAVERAGE PRICEBIOMASSBIOMASS FUELSBIOMASS MIGHTBORDER PRICEBORDER PRICESBURNING BIOMASSCHARCOALCONSUMER PRICECONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMER PRICESCOOKINGCROP RESIDUESCRUDE OILCRUDE OIL PRODUCTIONDIESELDIESEL CONSUMPTIONDIESEL USEDISTRIBUTION CENTERDRY CELL BATTERIESEFFICIENT ENERGY USEELECTRICITYELECTRICITY COMPANYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY GRIDELECTRICITY PRICESEMISSIONSENERGY ACCESSENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY COSTSENERGY ECONOMISTENERGY EXPENDITURESENERGY EXPERTSENERGY MARKETSENERGY PLANNERSENERGY POLICIESENERGY POLICYENERGY PRACTICESENERGY PRICEENERGY PRICESENERGY SECTORENERGY STRATEGYENERGY SUPPLYENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL GOALSENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESFUELFUEL COLLECTIONFUEL PRICESFUEL SUBSTITUTIONFUELSGASGAS COMPANYGAS INDUSTRYGASOLINEGENERATIONGRID CUSTOMERSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHOUSEHOLD COOKINGHOUSEHOLD ENERGYHOUSEHOLD ENERGY USEHOUSEHOLD INCOMESINCOMEINFLATIONKEROSENEKEROSENE SUBSIDIESKEROSENE USEKILOWATT HOURLIGHTINGLOAD FACTORMODERN FUELSNO ACCESS TO ELECTRICITYOILPETROLEUMPETROLEUM GASPETROLEUM PRODUCTSPETROLEUM SECTORPILOT PROJECTSPOWERPRICE ADJUSTMENTPRICE CHANGESPRICE COMPARISONPRICE ELASTICITYPRICE INCREASEPRICE INCREASESPRICE STRUCTUREPRICING POLICIESPRODUCT MARKETSPRODUCT PRICINGRETAILRETAIL PRICERETAIL PRICESRURAL AREASRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSALESSMOKESUBSTITUTESSUPPLIERSSUPPLY CHAINSUSTAINABLE ENERGYURBAN HOUSEHOLDSUSAGE OF ENERGYWELFARE LOSSWOOD10.1596/18001
