Researchers have increasingly focused on the impact of energy poverty across various sectors of the economy. This paper aims to identify the determinants of household energy poverty in Central and Southern Punjab, Pakistan, utilizing the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey Data from 2017-18. The analysis employs descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to assess the influence of various socioeconomic and demographic factors on multidimensional energy poverty. The survey results indicate a disparity between the two regions, with just over 50 percent of respondents reporting energy poverty. The education level of the household head, wealth status, and place of residence are critical factors influencing multidimensional energy poverty. The findings highlight the substantial influence of socioeconomic factors on household energy poverty and underscore the necessity for effective policies to address these challenges.
