?:abstract
  • Energy poverty is a socio-environmental challenge of urban significance that has been seldom explored quantitatively at the city scale as most indicator-based analyses are conducted at national or regional levels. Acknowledging this gap in the energy poverty literature, this chapter leverages a unique set of quantitative data sources available for Barcelona to estimate the incidence of energy poverty in the grain of the city. Indicators based on the Spanish Survey on Income and Living Conditions (SILC) show that 11% of Barcelona’s 1.5 million population were in energy poverty as of 2016, with higher rates in disadvantaged districts and vulnerable sub populations. The analysis applies a novel approach that interprets available indicators as complementary metrics capable of capturing the different degrees and experiences of domestic energy deprivation. It also highlights three insufficiently explored aspects of energy poverty, namely, the issue of electricity-based domestic heat, the question of arrears, indebtedness and disconnection from basic utility services, and the link with housing insecurity. These elements are relevant for other urban areas of post-crisis and austerity in the Mediterranean EU, with Barcelona being introduced as a pioneer city for its commitment to tackle domestic energy deprivation in this context.
