Discussion Paper by INFORSE-Europe, 30 December, 2008.

"When a family is not able to afford the costs of keeping its house warm and the lights on, it is hit by “fuel poverty” or "energy poverty". In many ways this is not different from other kinds of poverty, but if the economic problems comes from raising energy costs and the energy bill is a large part of household expenditures, it is reasonable to look for energy – related solutions. This can be increasing energy efficiency or cheaper energy."
