Abstract: With no definition of energy poverty in Bulgaria, and with obligations for decentralization and decarbonization of the energy sector, our country is entering a period of new commitments related to the Green Deal. What measures will the government take for these purposes in the households' sector, and how will this affect energy poverty levels? Will the measures have a significant effect on reducing energy poverty levels, and take us out of the top position for this indicator in the EU? The article aims at answering these questions by assessing the impact of a set of measures to reduce energy poverty among households, using anonymous data on energy income and expenditure from the 2017 Survey of Household Budget Surveys with a sample of 2950 households.
