Energy Poverty During the Energy Crisis

Resumé

The energy crisis in the post-pandemic era seems to add new dimensions to energy policy in many developed countries. The spectrum of factors determining energy poverty ranges from sociological to psychological issues, far beyond economics. Ukraine- Russia war proved that even international relations could determine the number of households with difficulty accessing energy services properly. Thus, Denmark seems to be among those countries facing energy poverty because of the nondomestic economic factors but escalating global energy prices. This paper elaborates on this issue and develops policy suggestions to tackle Denmark’s energy poverty.
