Evaluation is a valuable tool. It aids understanding, provides insight into the effectiveness of programmes and interventions, and enhances and informs decision-making. Furthermore, robust evaluation also provides greater transparency and accountability.
The paper tracks the proportion of household expenditure devoted to energy between 1992 and 2014, implementing a major new correction to energy expenditure for households with prepayment meters
This paper tracks the proportion of household expenditure devoted to energy between 1992 and 2014, implementing a major new correction to energy expenditure for households with prepayment meters, who tend to be low income households.
Analysis of the energy performance at an urban scale by the generation of a spatial system with individual records for each building obtained from the big data stored in the cadastre.
Development of a precision tool to assess the potential for improving energy efficiency in the urban fabric.
This report complements a BEIS-funded toolkit that has been produced by Cornwall Council and Citizens Advice to help health services understand the drivers for taking action on cold homes and how they can support people to live well at home.
Under One Roof was commissioned by Liverpool
City Council and funded by the Department for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). It
examines evidence and practices where health
bodies(i) have worked in partnership with fuel
poverty alleviation schemes.
The aim of this publication is to provide a comprehensive view of the latest statistical trends and analysis of fuel poverty in England.
The aim of this publication is to provide a comprehensive view of the latest statistical trends
and analysis of fuel poverty in England. Fuel poverty in England is measured using the Low
Income High Costs indicator,
The geographically weighted approach therefore draws attention to vulnerabilities often hidden in policymaking, allowing for reflection on the applicability of spatially constituted methodologies to wider social vulnerability assessments.
The document presents considerations about small wind technology under context of low carbon technology in Brazil, niches and benefits potential for community.
The aim of this paper is to present policy instruments that will reduce the scale of energy poverty in Poland.
The report includes a full set of research findings on barriers and enablers to vulnerability innovation.
This report discusses the housing conditions of energy-deprived people in Poland on the basis of household surveys.
According to Cabinet Order No.46 adopted 4 February 2020 the National Energy and Climate Plan for 2021-2030 set Latvia's targets and performance measures in several sectors or activities, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the increase in the share of renewable energy sources.
Unique national study designing programme tackling energy poverty.
Full range of solutions and approaches in the field of energy poverty.
Overview of policies useful for countries developing their own policies.
Case study aimed at mapping of the current situation in the Czech Republic.
This paper seeks to understand to what extent expenditure-based indicators succeed in representing wider socio-spatial vulnerabilities that manifest in particular locales.
Smart meters, surveys and buildings energy simulation used to track fuel poverty.
Comparative analysis of fuel poverty and fuel obesity groups for added insights.
Electricity consumption data and profiles cannot be used alone to segment consumers.
Energy expenditure shares are noticeably higher in New Member States than in the EU15.
A common pan-EU fuel/energy poverty metric is likely to be problematic.
Targeting high-level fuel poverty metrics could distort policymaking.
Using spatial analyses, the paper interrogates sub-regional estimates of the two indicators in England, where the LIHC indicator was first conceived.
We investigate the geographical features of fuel poverty using different indicators.
We compare the spatial distribution of fuel poverty using a 10% and LIHC indicator.
The shift to a LIHC indicator has disproportionately affected regions with lower housing costs.
The analysis offers insights into the spatial pattern of fuel poverty within a city and thus provides an opportunity to channel efforts towards households in those neighbourhoods most in need.
The aim of the report is to present the scale and characteristics of energy poverty in Poland based on the latest available data.
12% of people in Poland live in energy poverty.Poland’s rate of energy poverty has decreased in the last five years. Energy poverty affects mainly people living in villages and small
towns
The report evaluates the typology of buildings, the cost of electricity against income, the use
of electricity and quality of life as a phenomenon closely related to energy poverty. Energy
poverty refers to a situation where a household cannot access energy services at home.
