Comparing with Competing Energy Sources Sample Clauses

Comparing with Competing Energy Sources. With about 80% of Bangladesh population living in rural areas, their typical energy sources for water heating applications are wood, kerosene, bio gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and electricity. The urban domestic users use electricity or LPG for water heating. While commercial and industrial water heating applications generally use electricity and fuel oil. During the last 7 years, all the above energy sources recorded a good percentage of price hikes. The annual percentage increase in the prices of electricity, LPG, Kerosene and Fuel oil are 2%, 15%, 27% and 27% respectively. On the other front, the use of solar energy for water heating applications requires comparatively high initial investments but the system once installed will be operational for about 20 years with marginal maintenance activities.
