This study employs Peru's National Survey of Rural Household Energy Use data to investigate the correlation between household access to electricity and enrollment of children age 6-18 after taking into account individual-child and household level characteristics. Results indicate that children residing in households with access to electricity experience a significantly greater amount of reading time than those who do not. Additionally, household electrification substantially improves secondary school enrollment after controlling for household income, educational attainment of head of the household, ethnicity, and region. Findings therefore suggest significant potential benefits of expanding household electrification in enhancing educational attainments of the rural population.
