This study proposes enhancing the model-based approach to measure households’ energy poverty. Our goal is to assess regional vulnerability to energy poverty in Poland. As a result, we produce several maps showing the spatial distribution of vulnerability to energy poverty in 380 Polish districts.

In this analysis, energy poverty levels are evaluated for Greece, the municipality of Évora (Portugal), and the Basque Country (Spain): energy bills are modeled based on building energy performance data and other energy uses, and adjusted according to socio-demographic variables.

This paper assesses the performance of a centralised heat pump (200 kW of heating capacity) to meet the space heating demand of block dwellings in Madrid

The Positive Energy District (PED) concept has been pointed out as key for cities' energy system transformation toward carbon neutrality.

This paper analyses the effects of change in temperatures in the residential sector cooling demand in 2050 for a case study of nineteen cities across seven countries: Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Israel, Portugal, Slovakia, and Spain, by estimating cooling degree days and hours.

The report addresses the situation of energy poverty in six EU member states and analyses existing policies to battle energy poverty and support vulnerable consumers.

The publication first describes the necessary background and policy objectives of a carbon tax. It then discusses in detail the effect a carbon tax could have on energy poverty.

The article focuses on the measures implemented in Italy and Spain, the two initial epicentres of the epidemic in Europe; it highlights the key challenges that arise and outlines innovative alternatives to face them, beyond disconnection bans.

This paper explores the causes of these regional differences and contests that a common measurement across the UK countries would be insightful for resource allocation and policy design.
