Abstract
The relation between rural household characteristics and household energy consumption demand and expenditures indicates a signal for continuous production and supply of energy to enhance rural development. This study was aimed to identify the determinants of energy consumption in rural households of India. A total of 7416 observations was used from the Indian household survey data 2018. In this study, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method was used to attain the objectives. Findings of the study evident that the household principal decision maker, indebtedness of the household, household size and irrigation pump used by the household for cultivation purposes were the prime indicators that significantly affect the energy consumption expense of the rural household. Of the above-mentioned indicators, household principal decision maker, household size and irrigation pump used by the household positively affect the energy consumption expenditure, whereas indebtedness of the household had a negative effect. All those factors are essential to determine the energy consumption demand and ensure sustained energy production at the rural level to enhance rural development. This rural development, in turn, will contribute to alleviating poverty and brings up economic development of the country.
 
Key Words: Energy policy, Household characteristics, Renewable energy and Rural development.
