Abstract
This paper analyzed the determinants of energy choice for domestic use in informal settlements of Addis Ababa based on the data generated from 450 households in Yeka Sub-city, Woreda 12. The descriptive analysis of data showed that household heads from 30-60 years of age, education above grade 4, suitability of the dwelling place to the urban plan, number of years lived in the area, availability and reliability of energy sources, and food consumption behaviors significantly affected households access to electricity. Households that lived more than 9 years, families with higher levels of income, employed on permanent basis, living in a good shelter and large number of rooms has better access to electricity while land title and size owned, electric tariffs and proximity to electric line have no relationships with households’ electric-use status.
