The study examines different attributes of electricity, including reliability, power, and price, using choice experiments—a method uniquely able to disaggregate the willingness to pay for each attribute. Household surveys were carried out in 22 villages, spread across 4 districts in the state and covered a total of 216 households. Results indicate that consumer preference for electricity is based most significantly on (in order of strength of preference) power, reliability, and price. Further, despite 9.4 hours of electricity supply per day from the main grid, as compared to an average of only 7.2 hours from microgrids, the respondents exposed to
