Abstract

This commentary presents the findings of the annual Energy Statistics Survey by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT), an ongoing initiative since 2017 that is now in its fifth iteration, which covers 2022. The survey encompasses hundreds of responses from 45,420 households and offers a comprehensive view of their electricity consumption, fuel usage, various energy utilization patterns, and methods for achieving energy efficiency, along with other aspects. The survey’s sample is designed to represent Saudi Arabia’s 13 administrative regions and is selected based on the General Population and Housing Census 2022 framework. The goal is to accurately reflect the diversity of households within these regions.
