ABSTRACT
Energy is fundamental to economic and social development; to reduce poverty and continue to grow. It supports people as they seek a whole range of development benefits: cleaner and safer homes, lives of greater dignity and less drudgery, to better livelihoods and better quality education and health services. At the same time, modern energy (such as natural gas, electricity) access is essential to provide, sanitation services, reliable and efficient lighting, heating, cooking, mechanical power, transportation and telecommunication. However, developing countries are unable to meet rising energy demands. Therefore, there are many problems in the rural areas far from city centers, which are caused by the lack of modern energy. This study highlights the importance of reaching modern energy, describes the minimum standards of it and examines the importance of this energy for households. Lack of modern energy access, a general explanation has been given about the social problems the household has experienced.
