METHODOLOGY FOR MITIGARING ENERGY POVERTY IN BULGARIA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION

Authors

Keywords
methodology, energy, poverty.

Summary
In the mid-2000s, an increasing number of articles began to address the need for developing modern energy services in developing countries. These publications, in addition to analyzing the lack of physical access to energy services and its consequences, also discussed the financial inaccessibility of these services. Researchers assessed various types of energy resources consumed by households across income deciles to highlight income-based disparities. The World Bank raised the issue of financial inaccessibility to energy on an international level, emphasizing its negative effects on people’s health, children’s education, women’s quality of life, and the environment. Energy accessibility was examined within tools aimed at addressing poverty issues, especially among marginalized groups, rural areas, and other underserved communities.
