Abstract: Clean, reliable energy is an important factor for any village or areas development. Despite this, 1.2 billion people had no access to electricity and 2.8 billion people relied on traditional biomass for cooking and heating in 2016 according to the International Energy Agency. One of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals states that by 2030 everyone should have access to clean, sustainable energy. In light of this, the aim of this project was to design a methodological approach to appraise the energy situation in a Kyrgyz mountain village in order to make it possible for that village to work towards the energy targets of the Sustainable Development Goals in a clear, focused way. To do this, two surveys – a questionnaire and an observational survey - were developed that included all energy related topics such as reliability, affordability, availability, quality and cleanness of energy as well as energy efficiency, and percentage of renewable energies.
Eine gesicherte Energieversorgung ist ein wichtiger Entwicklungsfaktor für den ländlichen Raum. Im Jahr 2016 lebten laut der Internationalen Energieagentur trotzdem 1.2 Milliarden Menschen ohne elektrische Energie. Weitere 2.8 Milliarden Personen heizen und kochen ausserdem ausschliesslich mit Biomasse. Eines der Nachhaltigkeitsziele der UNO verlangt, dass bis zum Jahr 2030 alle Menschen Zugang zu sauberer, nachhaltiger Energie haben sollen. Um diesem Ziel näher zu kommen, lag der Fokus dieser Arbeit darauf, eine Methode zu entwickeln, mit der kirgisische Dörfer auf ihren Energiebedarf hin geprüft werden können. Dies sollte dazu dienen, allfällige konzeptionelle und zielgerichtete Verbesserungsmassnahmen zu ergreifen. Die entwickelte Methode, in Form einer Erhebung, besteht aus zwei Fragebogen, welche diverse Energiethemen wie z.B. Zuverlässigkeit der Energieversorgung, ökonomische Aspekte, Sauberkeit und Qualität der Energie sowie Energieeffizienz und Anteil der Erneuerbaren Energien umfassen.
