Abstract: This article aimed to assess the level of energy poverty of households in Poland based on the multidimensional index proposed by the authors. Surveys conducted in July 2022 on a sample of 1112 respondents were used. The questionnaire used the computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) method. The variables needed to build the index and various socio-economic characteristics describing households were defined during the research. The energy poverty index was calculated for individual households and was analyzed for a correlation with variables describing the characteristics of households. The analysis showed correlations, among others, with the place of residence and income variable and the energy poverty index. Statistical, descriptive, and comparative methods were used.
