The India Residential Energy Survey (IRES) 2020 is the first-ever pan-India survey on the state of energy access, consumption, and energy efficiency in Indian homes. It covers nearly 15,000 households in 1210 villages and 614 wards in 152 districts across 21 states. Conducted in 2019 in collaboration with the Initiative for Sustainable Energy Policy (ISEP). Using the nationally representative IRES, we can analyse the assessment of the quality and reliability of power supply and consumer satisfaction with electricity services. Further, it can be used to analyse the consumers' perception on how distribution companies (discoms) handle the metering, billing, and payment collection (MBC) process across households. It can be used to proposes strategies to fill the remaining gaps to realise the goal of universal, affordable, and reliable electricity access among all Indian households.
