Abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of central energy supply deficiency on energy poverty in Kyrgyz republic, by analyzing 1900 households in 2013. The cross-household analysis conducted by World Bank- GIZ Survey, called CALISS 2013 were used. The relationship between traditional fuel consumption and energy poverty was investigated, mainly by using Energy Poverty Ratio (EPR). EPR is the ratio representing the portion of energy and fuel expenditure over income of household, by the use of ‘10% indicator’ approach. Households, with the share of income above 10% coverage of expenses associated with fuel and energy services, are acknowledged to be energy poor households. Obtained results represent statistically significant energy and fuel consumption affect on energy poverty index. The results specify extensive traditional biomass and fuel dependence of houses and increase in the number of energy poor households; a substantial decline in supplied energy consumption, indicating a shortage of central energy supply. Results, conclusion and some recommendations were suggested in terms of policy to be implemented, focusing on decreasing the level of energy poverty.
