Relieving Energy Poverty
A household is considered energy poor if they are spending more than 10% of their income on energy or fuel.
Despite its prevalence, Australia has not formally recognised energy poverty as a problem distinct from general poverty at the federal level, which limits effective responses.
Who is considered energy poor?
Individuals, households, or communities that are unable to access and afford adequate energy/fuel for basic necessities of life, such as heating, cooling and essential transport.
Families that have to choose between buying groceries or paying rent and heating their homes.
The direct consequences of energy poverty are an increase in health expenditure and a gradual decrease in labour productivity in the long run.
