Energy poverty and public health: Global evidence (2021, background): “Energy poverty has been described as the absence of sufficient access to modern energy required to meet certain basic tasks such as cooking and lighting (Sovacool, 2012; Sovacool et al., 2012).”
A multidimensional index to measure energy poverty: the Polish case (2020, neutral): “In developing countries, energy poverty is usually understood as the lack of access to energy services (Soko ł owski 2019; Sovacool 2012), while in developed countries it is understood in terms of energy expenditures and incomes (Buzar 2007).”
Renewable Energy Development as a Driver of Economic Growth: Evidence from Multivariate Panel Data Analysis (2019, background): “4 billion people across the globe who remain “energy poor” [14].”
Electricity, income, and quality of life (2016, background): “Studies have been done exposing the health risks, educational detriments, and productivity challenges of energy poverty (Birol, 2007; Reddy, 1999; Sagar, 2005; Sovacool, 2012).”
Energy Poverty and Its Implication on Standard of Living in Kirinyaga, Kenya (2018, background): “There is an overlap between the definition of energy poverty [28] and that of standards of living [35], hence the choice of indicators in reference [28].”
Fuelling women's empowerment? An exploration of the linkages between gender, entrepreneurship and access to energy in the informal food sector (2017, result): “This concept has been criticised, however, for not fully capturing the intricacies of how households and enterprises consume energy [39,40,44], and several studies have contradicted the model.”
Imagining renewable energy: Towards a Social Energy Systems approach to community renewable energy projects in the Global South (2017, background): “inconsistencies that still exist within discussions over the measurement of the concept [9,10].”
A global perspective on domestic energy deprivation: Overcoming the energy poverty-fuel poverty binary (2015, background): “ebates on the ‘other energy crisis’ [91], therefore, have gradally evolved from a supply-dominated logic underscoring the nder-development of technical infrastructures to a more nuanced nderstanding of the multilayered political economies and relaions of power that drive the emergence and persistenc”
