The major sources of energy for light are electricity and kerosene oil, while the major sources of energy for fuel purposes are wood, electricity, kerosene oil, animal dung, cylinder gas and dry bushes. There is no data available on the import and export of energy. The number of electricity connections (December 1996) is:

There is a wide gap between demand and supply of energy. Due to this the area suffers often from load shedding. Most of the energy supplies (cylinder gas, kerosene oil, fuel wood, coal etc), come from other provinces. Annual energy consumption (per source/per capita) is growing. However, it cannot be estimated in the absence of data.
