The aim of this work is to develop a novel high-resolution spatial scale composite index, focusing on space heating and cooling, to map energy poor regions and identify hotspots for local action.

High spatial scale multi-faceted method for EP regional vulnerability assessment.
Buildings energy performance gaps and socio-economic variables are combined.
Tool for hotspots identification for local action and comparative analysis.
The report monitors the performance of consumer protection measures in the European electricity and gas markets.
The current case study focuses on the
development of the Energy Poverty Observatory in Greece aiming at
effective monitoring of the Greek energy poverty situation.
Case Studies of the EU Energy Poverty Observatory (EPOV) showcase
successfully implemented energy poverty measures in the Member
States. They highlight best practices that can be used as models for
energy poverty action.
The aim of this research is to explore the possibilities of using the information about energy consumption records in the new smart meters as reliable information for energy research of the residential building stock.
This case study focuses on the development of the French National
Energy Poverty Observatory aiming at effective monitoring of the energy
poverty situation in France.
This case study focuses on a project in Barcelona that involves large-scale efforts
to help people to manage their energy bills and avoid disconnection, as
well as trainings and workshops.
It is argued that energy poverty should be measured using multiple
indicators in tandem, as it is a complex multi-dimensional issue that manifests in
different ways across households and Member States.
Para ello, resulta necesario contrastar los datos de los consumos realizados con la información obtenida a partir de encuestas realizadas a los habitantes.
There are important structural energy poverty vulnerability inequalities in the EU.
A geographical pattern of structural energy poverty vulnerability was observed.
The most vulnerable countries are located in eastern and southern Europe.
Excess winter mortality risk is higher in countries wi
Taken as a whole, the body of energy consumer rights and protections established in the Second and Third
Energy Packages has been largely transposed in the Member States (MSs), as presented in previous editions
of this Volume.
The results show that Portuguese residential buildings have very low energy performance, with windows and roofs being identified as the most energy inefficient elements. Roof retrofitting has the highest potential for the reduction of energy needs.
Se desarrolla una metodología que permite la localización de áreas urbanas que se encuentran en situación de pobreza energética. Para ello es necesario analizar datos geolocalizados de la relación entre los ingresos medios por hogar y los consumos energéticos residenciales para cada área urbana.
We focus particularly on how relationships with family, friends, agencies and distant others impact on people’s ability to cope with energy poverty. We find that the connection between social relations and energy poverty is recursive
This research studies the feasibility of implementing the FPPRI in different climate zones of Chile by means of regression models based on artificial neural networks (ANNs).
Vulnerability frameworks can challenge assumption that gender inequality is synonymous with energy poverty.
We need to move beyond a focus upon the household to consider energy vulnerability of individuals.
Evidence spatialities of gendered energy vulnerability related to health and economic act
This report is the result of analysis of both consumer and stakeholder surveys carried out in the countries involved in the ASSIST project.
This report is the result of analysis of both consumer and stakeholder surveys carried out
in the countries involved in the Assist project (Belgium, Finland, Italy, Poland, Spain, UK).
The aim was that these surveys complement the European Union Statistics on Income and
Living Conditions (EU SILC)
This document has two aims:
• To publish an assessment of the Government’s implementation of its 2015 fuel poverty
strategy so far, and
• To seek views on proposals to update the fuel poverty strategy.
Bei Energiearmut geht es um die (Nicht-) Leist-
barkeit von Energie, was insbesondere für Haus-
halte mit niedrigem Einkommen – wie armutsge-
fährdete Haushalte – von Relevanz ist.
The accelerating impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate disruption must be arrested. The
window of opportunity to act is fast closing, but Ireland is way off course. As economic recovery has
taken hold, it is clear that the link between prosperity and emissions has not been broken.
This consultation document sets out several proposals to update the 2015 fuel poverty strategy for England.
The book addresses how to measure energy poverty, how to map it, and how to draw conclusions based on illness and social indicators. Finally, it explores measures to ‘fight’ fuel poverty, including policy and governance actions, building efficiency improvements and city planning.
This article presents analysis of three national approaches to energy poverty in Europe; England, Ireland and France. In comparing these cases, we show how each defines and measures energy poverty differently and how this affects the selection and functioning of different policy solutions.
