?:abstract
  • Energy poverty is a major concern for many European countries, with some form of centralised regulation being promoted through the European Commission and initiatives such as the new Green Deal. Nevertheless, research conducted for specific member states is rare. It is even more uncommon to follow a comparative approach and contrast similarities and differences between member states. This study aims to partially fill this gap, by using as case studies two disparate European countries (Cyprus and Spain) located in the Mediterranean region. The objective of this study is to enrich the research on existing mitigating measures related to energy poverty while incorporating a geographical consciousness from a Mediterranean area perspective. Materials and methods include an investigation into the current situation relative to energy poverty and the measures implemented to mitigate it, through literature reviews of research and non-academic material, as well as estimations of key indicators from national and European surveys. It also builds a novel classification of the Spanish Autonomous Communities depending on their energy poverty impact, as well as the measures implemented in each of the regions. Results highlight the main similarities and differences between the two countries, contrasting between the over-simplified framework in Cyprus and the vastly more intricate research and regulatory framework in Spain. This exploratory approach is perhaps the most significant contribution of this study, since it highlights that similarities can be found in the otherwise so distinct countries – in terms of scale and modus operandi. Moreover, recommendations are made on how to provide sufficient and efficient support for energy vulnerable consumers in each member state. (xsd:string)
