The dynamics of sustainable urban energy transitions in Rwanda SEAS, University of Michigan, United States of America Household energy transitions are occurring rapidly in urban centers in low-income countries but are rarely observed longitudinally. We analyze repeated surveys of 1,462 households (2015-2020) to evaluate changes in use of cooking fuels/stoves in Gisenyi, Rwanda where pellet gasifier stoves and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) were newly available. The pellet stove was prone to dis-adoption and declining use, even though the fuel was relatively cheaper than charcoal. There was rapid and sustained growth in LPG use by wealthier households in our study. Our observations extend current models of initial adoption, sustained use, and dis-adoption, including an unstable, “wobbly” use trajectory. | |
