“…The second perspective of territorial effects on energy poverty has paid attention to climatic and geographical conditions that generate differentiated energy poverty expressions, such as in the case of islands (Wolf et al, 2016;Surroop et al, 2018;Ioannidis et al, 2019;Lozano et al, 2019). An emphasis has been made regarding how altitude (Katsoulakos and Kaliampakos, 2016;Papada and Kaliampakos, 2016), temperature (Puzzolo et al, 2016;Kerimray et al, 2018;Besagni and Borgarello, 2019), and climatic variability (Ioannidis et al, 2019) relate to different energy needs that households can have. Similarly, literature has stressed the importance of daily (Puzzolo et al, 2016) and seasonal variability (Puzzolo et al, 2016;Pollard et al, 2018) of these conditions.…”

“…Similarly, literature has stressed the importance of daily (Puzzolo et al, 2016) and seasonal variability (Puzzolo et al, 2016;Pollard et al, 2018) of these conditions. This group of the energy poverty literature usually emphasizes how remote (Dugoua et al, 2017;Pollard et al, 2018), mountainous (Katsoulakos and Kaliampakos, 2016;Papada and Kaliampakos, 2016), or isolated areas face specific conditions that create barriers for improved access to cleaner, more efficient fuels, posing a challenge to energy transitions.…”

Energy poverty is a crucial concept in current global energy policy, both for the importance of securing equitable access to high-quality energy services to all human populations and to advance toward a just energy transition to a decarbonized economy. Nonetheless, one of the limitations of this concept due to its focus at the household scale, it has tended to omit relevant energy conditions at a territorial scale, which can also be a dimension of significant deprivation (e.g., transportation, schools, hospitals, public services, industrial uses among others.). On the other hand, energy services are highly dependent on context: on the geographic, ecological, technical, economic, and sociocultural conditions. This context-dependency determines the range of energy and technological alternatives available in a territory. Hence, a conceptual framework is required to better understand the starting point to a just energy transition, capable of integrating the complexity of socio-techno-ecological systems. To fill this gap, we present a framework based on the concept of Territorial Energy Vulnerability (TEV), defined as the propensity of a territory to not guarantee equitable access—in quantity and quality—to resilient energy services that allow the sustainable human and economic development of its population. That is a greater probability of inequity in access to energy services or a significant impacts derived from socio-natural risks that make it incapable of guaranteeing a sustainable and resilient provision of these services. Built on state-of-the-art conceptualizations of risk, we develop an indicator-based framework on vulnerability understood as the combination of sensitivity and resilience characteristics of socio-techno-ecological systems. Sensitivity relates to economic, demographic, infrastructure, technology, culture, and knowledge characteristics of socio-techno-ecological components. Meanwhile, resilience is presented in a three-dimensional framework based on flexibility, register, and self-transformation capacity of socio-techno-ecological systems. An application of this framework is developed using three case studies: Arica, Los Andes and Coyhaique, all Chilean cities with diverse ecological, technical, economic, and sociocultural conditions that shape territorial vulnerability. Using this framework as a diagnostic tool, the development of a just energy transition could adapt existing concepts of energy poverty and decarbonization pathways into context-specific guidelines and policies.

“…En el contexto europeo, la consolidada tradición británica en el estudio de la «pobreza de combustible», primero, y la justicia energética, después, está siendo acompañada en la última década por estudios que están surgiendo prácticamente en todos los países. Muchos de ellos se centran en la definición y medición de la pobreza energética en los diferentes contextos nacionales, como Grecia (Papada y Kaliampakos, 2016), Chequia (Karasek y Pojar, 2018), Italia (Besagni y Borgarello, 2019) o Portugal . Otros marcan pautas para políticas comunes a partir de la comparación Thomson y Snell, 2013).…”

Medios de comunicación y "stakeholders" contribución al debate público de la pobreza y justicia energética en España

Los medios de comunicación y los diferentes actores sociales han jugado un importante papel en la formación de opinión pública en torno a la pobreza e injusticia energética en España. Una investigación con un diseño mixto ha permitido analizar quiénes se han conformado en grupos de interés, su grado de implicación y participación, sus sustanciales contribuciones para la reducción de la desigualdad y sus estrategias comunicativas. Se han analizado 478 noticias de la prensa digital, publicadas entre 2012 y 2017, utilizando análisis de contenido y análisis cualitativo con enfoque fundamentado. La investigación concluye que la pobreza energética se ha afrontado desde el plano asistencial y coyuntural y que este hecho ha propiciado la reclamación mediática de justicia energética y de empoderamiento colectivo para el logro de la ciudadanía energética.

“…These differences can also be observed at regional level (e.g. Papada and Kaliampakos 2016a). English households whose 'required' energy expenditure exceeds 10% of income only coincide with households declaring a lack of thermal comfort at the place of living to a small extent .…”

Energy Poverty and Vulnerability

Human health and wellbeing are closely intertwined with the ability to access affordable and modern domestic energy services, including heating, cooling, lighting, cooking, and information technology. Energy poverty is said to occur when such amenities cannot be secured up to a socially-and physically-necessitated level. Millions of people across the world suffer from energy poverty due to a combination of financial, social and technical circumstances.Energy Poverty and Vulnerability provides novel and critical perspectives on the drivers and consequences of energy-related injustices in the home. Drawing together original research conducted by leading experts, the book offers fresh insights into the ways in which hitherto unexplored factors such as cultural norms, environmental conditions and household needs combine to shape vulnerability to energy poverty. Case studies from a wide range of countries are presented, thus providing the first globally-integrated account of a policy and research domain that has previously been divided between the Global South and North. An examination of the diverse manifestations of energy poverty is supplemented by an identification of this condition's shared and context-specific causes.Conveying policy-relevant insights that can inform decision-making, this book can be of interest to students and scholars of energy demand, social justice, and sustainability transitions, as well as decision-makers and practitioners who wish to find out more about this complex issue.
