Fuel for thought: Cooking energy options

According to the World LPG Association, cooking by using 180-kilowatt hour electricity is equal to cooking by 13 kilograms of LPG and 91 kilograms of firewood. If we convert these in the local market price, there is not much difference between using LPG and electricity for cooking. LPG used in the domestic sector is subsidised and the cost of electricity is higher to the users.
