Abstract: Abstract The chapter aims to explore the determinants of electricity consumption in working-class districts of Senegal cities. Grand-Yoff and Grand-Dakar are among the 19 district municipalities of the city of Dakar. The study collected data on different parameters related to electricity consumption that includes the number and type of plugging appliances. The methodology consists of a comparison between real electricity consumption of residential buildings and estimations based on models from the literature, which is followed by an analysis of the impact that a number of socio-economic parameters can have on the annual electricity consumption. Our results show that estimations can significantly differ from data collected in the field. They also show that context-specific, social and economic parameters affect electricity consumption in various magnitudes. Therefore, the planning of electricity production systems such as community grids or other decentralized systems for these areas requires better models.
