characteristics Electricity consumption, Power stations and electric capacity, Prices, Water consumption/per capita Water production data (in m3) as well as number of abonnements per region (unclear if this is abonnements per household). Both information together can give indications about consumption of water by household, given that abonnements are counted on household level.

Collector name Societé nationale de l’electricité, Institut national statistique, Regideso Societé nationale de l’electricité: Provides energy sales and export data for the statistical yearbook of the National Statistical Office (Institut national statistique, INS)” (see statistical yearbook 2014, page 333, https://www.ins-rdc.org/sites/default/files/Montage%20AnnuStat%20FINAL%202%20From%20VEROUILLE%20_0.pdf) Institut national statistique, INS Collects and publishes energy sales data from SNLE Regideso is a company contracted by the Ministry of Mining and Energy. The official website is currently under maintenance (see https://www.regidesordc.com/) Little information can be found on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regideso
Printed copies can be given on request. However, the data offered can't be reliable due to lack of proper equipment to measure electricity/water consumption with accuracy.

I reviewed the original submission and found some additional data provided by the Statistical Office.
