The recently published policy brief, co-authored by our colleagues Samuele Livraghi and Jean-Sébastien Broc from IEECP, and jointly prepared with the ENSMOV Plus project, delves into how EU Member States are reporting on energy poverty under Article 8(3) of the recast Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) (EU) 2023/1791. It highlights best practices, identifies areas for improvement, and offers actionable recommendations to enhance policy effectiveness.
Key questions answered include:
✅ What is the current state of energy poverty reporting in relation to Art. 8(3) of the recast EED?
✅ What best practices can be observed?
✅ What areas require potential refinements?
Key insights cover strategies for targeting vulnerable groups such as low-income households and recipients of social benefits, as well as leveraging funding sources like the Social Climate Fund to promote an inclusive energy transition.
This brief is an essential resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders committed to alleviating energy poverty through effective energy efficiency measures.
