Using a mixed methods approach, our network has conducted research to advance knowledge and interpretations
of energy poverty and boost scientific outputs’ capacity to shape knowledge- based policies. 

n the sphere of Fire Safety, there is an opinion that the people living in energy poverty face a greater
fire risk and so are exposed to a double penalty.The data regarding the link between fire safety and energy poverty is in development.  

Buildings are responsible for more than 30% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions from energy. To increase energy and resource efficiency, the EU Renovation Wave sets the target of doubling renovation rates in the next ten years.

This paper evaluates whether, how, and why policy documents in six diverse European countries (Spain, France, Portugal, the UK, North Macedonia, and Slovenia) link energy poverty to other related policy areas. 

This paper provides a review of the digital one-stop shop concept for building renovation while providing a step-by-step approach for their implementation based on a Portuguese case-study.

The aim is to develop and test a model for the provision of integrated residential renovation services on the territory of Sofia in Bulgaria.

These guidelines provide an overview for signatories of the energy poverty pillar in the CoM Europe framework and the support options that are available to them.

This paper analyses the regional impact of replacing space heating and cooling equipment on energy poverty levels in the population using the Energy Poverty Vulnerability Index.

The results showed that exponential smoothing and state-space methods allowed to obtain satisfactory results with regard to percentage error.

SCORE has developed and promoted the application of Consumer Stock Ownership Plans (CSOPs) for renewable energy projects and applied the model in several REC pilot projects.

While wind power is one of the fastest growing, most mature and cost-competitive renewable energy (RE) technologies, its deployment faces significant challenges due to low acceptance amongst societal actors

This Energy Poverty Advisory Hub report conducts a thorough scientific literature review of studies that delve into energy poverty assessment and the identification and targeting of the energy-poor population at subnational spatial scales.

This report aims to investigate, identify and analyse the variety of data sources, datasets, and methods used in the literature for assessing energy poverty at greater spatial resolution for specific contexts, territories, and populations.

The briefing lays out why energy poverty cannot be solved by ‘letting the market play its game’. 

This paper investigates whether energy poor households may be overlooked because they self-restrict their residential heating to underconsumption. 

The main conclusion of the research study was officially sent by ERI to the government at the end of July 2022, and served as a basis for the adoption of an official energy poverty definition in Bulgaria.

This study aimed at clarifying how a change in the behavioural patterns of users, following the adaptive model might reduce the incidence of fuel poverty, compared to the static model based solely on active cooling.

This report, available in 24 languages, displays a series of 24 inspirational cases of how energy poverty can be alleviated at the local level.
