Energy Poverty in Bulgaria – Status and Policies Review

Teodora Peneva

Economic Studies journal, 2024, issue 8, 51-77

Abstract: The paper presents the historical review of a series of indicators of energy poverty in Bulgaria, including the recently adopted official definition, and the existing and planned policy instruments to reduce energy poverty in the field of energy efficiency, heating appliances and systems, and renewable energy sources. Targeted heating support and temporary direct support in the form of targeted heating grants and compensation under Operation Support for Vulnerable Households – SAFE are not analysed. The official definition of energy poverty is used to assess both the level and the effectiveness of the definition and its ability to reflect national specifics and trends, its potential shortcomings in the programme scope, targeted groups and results.
