Abstract

There is no unified global or European definition for the term energy poverty. It has different meanings depending on place and context of using it. However, the EU Member States have the obligation to assess the number of households in energy poverty due to the Regulation on the governance of the energy union and climate action. Defining energy poverty in Hungary has to be made carefully, as it gets a political aspect through the regulated prices. The aim of this paper is to overview the possible definitions of the term energy poverty and give an estimated extent of the Hungarian population that could be counted as energy poor.
