Energy access metrics are needed to track the progress towards providing sustainable energy for all. This paper presents advancements in the development of the Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index (MEPI), as well as results and analysis for a number of developing countries. The MEPI is a composite index designed to shed light on energy poverty by assessing the services that modern energy provides. The index captures both the incidence and intensity of energy poverty. It provides valuable insights–allowing the analysis of determinants of energy poverty–and, subsequently insights into policy efficacy. Building on previous work, this paper presents results obtained as a result of both increased data availability and enhanced methodology. Specifically, this analysis (i) includes an increased number of countries, and (ii) tracks the evolution of energy poverty over time of energy poverty in selected countries is reported.

- European energy poverty metrics: Scales, prospects and limits (2020, background): “A challenge when measuring a multi-dimensional problem like energy poverty is to operationalise diverse metrics at multiple scales (neighbourhood, urban, district, regional, national) to maximise coverage and minimise biases in representations of outcomes [13,25].”
