“…The PRS is generally understood to encompass households who rent properties at a market rate from a private landlord [5]. According to data obtained from the Energy Poverty Dashboard (EPD) [6], and without taking into account the latest increasing prices, households in the PRS across Europe struggle with energy-related issues to a considerably greater extent than the overall population with regard to energy poverty indicators, while privately rented homes are considered the least energy efficient on average across the various housing sectors [7][8][9][10][11]. In this context, energy efficiency at the EU level is considered an important policy area for enhancing the living conditions of households, alleviating energy poverty, and simultaneously meeting targets for climate change mitigation [12][13][14][15].…”

“…There are also several state-level initiatives to promote renewable energy deployment, such as the Victorian Renewable Energy Target (VRET) and the South Australian Renewable Energy Target (SARET). These initiatives aim to increase the use of renewable energy sources and reduce emissions in these states (Lang et al 2022).…”

of the energy sector as well as the method of comparing the country's energy performance before and after the implementation of relevant reforms to better illustrate the effectiveness of existing projects. As a result, it was determined that the Australian government pursues a policy of carbon neutrality in the energy industry to reduce the harm caused to nature by harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The state has a focus on reducing the cost of electricity. It is also determined that Australia has a positive attitude toward foreign investment and is open to proposals for new technologies that improve the efficiency and security of the energy supply. The research mentions Australia's main trading partners, their joint projects, and enterprises. The main directions of alternative energy currently used, their advantages, and their disadvantages are identified. The research result may be of practical value for investors in the field of renewable energy sources in order to better understand the energy market in Australia and possible prospects, as well as for all interested parties.

“…Workers can be facilitated from a brighter home or office environment to increase their salary, and children might be more focused and attentive if classrooms are brightened (Jokhan et al 2022). The researcher examined the correlation between household income and energy consumption to determine the standard lifestyle (Arshed et al 2022;Lang et al 2022). Furthermore, rural households' energy consumption depends on energy prices, village infrastructure, prevailing wage structure, and commodity prices.…”

The rapid urbanization and industrialization of India have caused a demand-supply gap in the electrical sector, leading to higher electric bills. Lower-income households face the worst energy poverty in the country. Sustainable strategies like corporate social responsibility are the most effective way to combat the energy crisis. This study aims to assess the contribution of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to energy poverty alleviation (EPA) by developing the role of mediating variables such as assessment of renewable energy resource (RER), feasibility of sustainable energy supply (SES), and sustainable energy development (SED). We used hybrid research methodology such as partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the collected data from professionals, economic experts, and directors in the country in 2022. The study proved that CSR directly affects energy poverty alleviation. Besides, the findings suggest RER, SES, and SED significantly lead the energy poverty alleviation. The findings of this study will divert the attention of policymakers, stakeholders, and economists toward the corporate social responsibility to mitigate the energy crisis in Indian context. A mediating role of a renewable energy resource (RER) as a value-added contribution to this study can be strengthened more in future research. Based on the results, the study illustrates that CSR acts as a catalyst to alleviate energy poverty.
