Energy Poverty and Energy Efficiency in Rural Areas: Regional results of RENOVERTY

To deepen the understanding on rural energy poverty and energyefficiency, RENOVERTY conducted an online survey of relevant stakeholders across Europe deriving key insights on existing needs, barriers, and proposed solutions for energy poverty and energy efficiency in vulnerable rural and peri-urban areas across Europe.
During this process, 130 stakeholders/experts from the fields of academia, policymaking, private and social sectors, etc., focused on European Union (EU) rural areas responded to the survey.
Furthermore, considering that the phenomenon of energy poverty is particularly pronounced in rural areas in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), Southern Eastern Europe (SEE) and Southern Europe (SE) countries, our survey has a particular focus on
exploring views and needs from stakeholders coming from these contexts. The survey results distinguished among the three regions under study will be analysed in the following subchapters.
